I just installed Windows LiveWriter and this is my first post. If it works, it only took about 5 minutes to install and configure to work with typepad. And yes, it does check the title of a post when I run spell check.
Web interfaces are great for a lot of applications, and I still think an application running on my personal computer can be best. In the early days of typepad, it was too easy to accidently hit the back button on the browswer and lose my entire post. At least now they warn you that it is about to happen.
Just to test it out a bit, I’m going to see if I can insert a map into this post.
Looks like it worked. Next I’ll see if I can control it with speech recognition!

I used it for my last post and was amazed at how easy and fast it was.
I tried again with an image and it said that it couldn’t post the image and wanted to setup ftp for that. I cancelled the operation and will try again when I get more time.
