WLW reincarnated

So, I blogged today after an insanely long hiatus of 3 years. Yes, I have been otherwise occupied. And after posting using the WordPress editor, I was quite ok. Then, I thought about my next post and I wanted to reference an old one, without too much effort and googling, and I was back to missing Windows Live Writer. It was dead. Despite finding a link to the downloader on a website about blogging tools (supposedly from 5 days ago – really?!) – which refused to install on Windows 10. Annoying, and sloppy – you got my hopes up and dashed them.

But looking at the list, I half considered installing one of the apps listed – but then decided to check up on what was available in the open source world. And lo and behold, my eyes were drawn to the open live writer (OLW) result:

And, to add a cherry on the cake, OLW is open source and hopefully will be around for a long, long time to come.
