Windows Live Writer tech preview adds image editing features
Microsoft has released a new technical preview of Windows Live Writer, the company's desktop blogging client. Windows Live Writer lets you create, edit, and post blog entries using popular blog services including WordPress, Blogger, and Windows Live Spaces.
The latest version has a revised toolbar, tabs for switching views and word count features. But probably the most notable change is the addition of basic image editing support. You can now crop, tilt, or rotate images in Windows live Writer. There are also additional border styles including reflection and rounded corners.
You can also upload videos directly to Soapbox, MSN's answer to YouTube, for easy embedding in posts. We'd be happier if you could upload videos to YouTube and other sites as well, but this is still just a technical preview, so perhaps support for other sites will come in a future release.
