Windows Live Writer Fails Fast

It’s always a good feeling when a new application you’re trying out fails in the first 10 minutes. That way you haven’t wasted a lot of time.

Windows Live Writer just did that for me.

First thing it offered to do after making its first connection to my blog was to put a temporary post on the blog. It put the post there, but it was permanent, and I had to use my blog’s administrative interface to delete it.

Pretty bad manners. I uninstalled WLW.

Somewhere among WLW’s pages was a promise that I could see a perfectly formatted preview of my posts. Found no way to do that. But remember, I only gave the product 10 minutes.

I hear good things about WLW. Just didn’t work for me.
