Live Writer and Live Spaces

Downloadable from Microsoft, the Live Writer tool allows you to type up blog posts ahead of time, and if desired, publish the same information to more than one BLOB or JOURNAL with a quick click or two. 

The interface is straight forward and easy to use, including the pesky spell check tool we wish many other web log programs applied actively instead of trusting your fingers to hit the correct key every time.  Typing up a new post is as simple as most email interfaces with pictures, hyperlinks, maps, tags and much more.

Live Space is the Microsoft blog, email, networking tool and more in an integrated package with many modules used in other blogging and networking tools.  Just what I need, one more blog or networking tool.

I think I’ll be using it a bunch in the future.

Does it work?  Do we like it?  Am I more likely to blog if I can use this tool?

MAYBE!!

Tag! I'm it! Now you're it!

My Six Happy things...

1. My family and friends, all of them. Thought they drive me bonkers most days, I don't know how I could live a day without them.
2. Sad songs, which seems weird, but I'm often happy that person is 'not me' but also I have had music help me through some of the worst times so I can find happiness again.
3. Chocolate - this may be cheating but I don't dare.
4. When the "Ah Ha!" moment finally comes on a problem I've been noodling for days!
5. Using video hack and slash game to take out my frustrations, and being happy afterward!
   
6. Reading and/or Writing (come on you knew it was going to be here, don't look so surprised)

Renovations in progress!

I've been working on my template, making some tweaks here and there - making it custom!

Please excuse the dust while we're working.

Thanks!
