I've been looking for a Mac version of WLW. I've been testing a few. That Dynamic Template is a great idea.
Sometimes the hardest thing about blogging is Blogger.
Very helpful post. Thanks!

@Sheila (Bookjourney)

I would assume that as long as you have a PC, you could use WLW for WP blogs. Of course, I'm not 100% certain on that but that's my assumption.

@Marce

I wish Blogger had a better commenting system too. I'd like to see a 'reply' system (like a threaded reply) like Wordpress has. Maybe one day Blogger will catch up?

Nice post and great ideas. I know I do not use Goodreads to the extent that I should. I need to look into Fairshare and windows live writer...I wonder if that works for Wordpress blogs too?

I just signed up to fairshare and I'm going to look into tweetdeck. Great post.

Wow Fairshare and WLW sounds amazing. Thanks for that. I love LibraryThing for keeping track of books and recommendations.

I am considering leaving blogger for better comment system.

Love Goodreads, but I don't use Twitter much anymore as it sucks me in and suddenly it's 3 hours later and I've gotten nothing done! *L*

Will check out FairShare, as I'm not familiar with that one. And totally agree with the rest of your tips, and the most important thing is to have fun!

@parrish lantern I love the Goodreads app too!

@Smash Attack!

Just want to clarify - Feedburner doesn't let you pre-schedule tweets. What it does is as soon as your post goes lives, it tweets it for you. Instantaneously. I use Tweetdeck to schedule tweets. Love being able to do that.

And yes, WLW is da bomb!

I'd never heard of windows live writing! My home PC is so slow so I'll check that out:) I've been using the I phone blogger app lately. It's amazing !

I'm a great fan of WLW & twitter, as you say Blogger can be so temperamental, also love Goodreads especially the phone app.

2011-09-16T14:28:54.635-07:00

Ohhhh. I had no clue FeedBurner scheduled Tweets. I really haven't explored the functions for that website. And yes, WLW is a GODSEND. Honestly, don't think I'd be blogging if I had to use Blogger's interface...

Thanks for the GREAT resources. :)

@Jac Oh, yes. Best thing ever!

@Erin

What's up with Google Alerts? They've been slacking big time. I hardly get alerts from them anymore. I definitely recommend looking into Fairshare. I have my notices come up in Google Reader. Great tool to use.

I hope you're able to find something similar to WLW for Mac :)

2011-09-16T13:39:33.752-07:00

I use several of these, and they're indispensable! I'm excited to check out FairShare, as I've been having the same "eh" results with Google Alerts lately. And I don't have a PC, but you've inspired me to check out something similar to WLW for Mac!
