So anyone who used Windows LiveWriter, beta 2 is now available. Looks quite a bit different. More complex. Doesn’t open a new window for every new blog post which is nice. I keep seeing my CPU on my laptop spike up to 80-100% for bursts with WindowsLiveWriter.exe as the culprit when using it though. Not sure what that is about. Still can’t publish images to Wordpress either now that I have upgraded to WordPress 2.2. I looked around and some people are saying it is an issue and others are saying it isn’t an issue. I fully suspect it is something in WordPress because multiple versions of LiveWriter could publish images to the previous version of WordPress I was running (something quite old, I don’t recall now) and the instant I upgraded to 2.2 it all broke.
Go get the new LiveWriter here —> http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!D85741BB5E0BE8AA!1272.entry#comment
I would recommend keeping the old install binaries around just in case you want to go back….
