Pros
Eaiser to write great looking blog posts. Can automatically watermark your pictures, add title and alt text and resize. Also easy to add hyperlinks and links to pictures
Cons
Would like more options with the watermark but that's failry minor.
Summary
I recommend this to anyone with a blog. I love it!

A superb free tool for blogging
alf_hannaJuly 26, 2011
Pros
Fast, easy to use, powerful tool to create blog entries. Works with popular blog sites, i.e. Wordpress, Blogger, etc.
Cons
None that I could determine, other than platform specific to Windows.
Summary
Microsoft hits a solid hit with the free package of Live Writer. Having used packages on both the Mac and Windows world, this is as good as I've found. Fast, intuitive, simple, I don't see any reason to look further for a blogging package. It is one reason I currently prefer the Windows platform. I would rate it 5 stars, but I reserve that for truly breakthrough products. But for the price, and with the capabilities that it has, it is a great product. I would gladly pay for this product, as I have on the Mac platform, for products such as Mars edit. There are numerous Youtube videos on how to use the product, most people could likely figure it out on their own by playing with the menues.
Fantastic!

There is nothing good about this
