In this article today, I want to write a blog editor for Windows Live writer (the earliest version was released in 2007). It is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the few WYSIWYG editors, and of course, its slow speed is also a well-known problem. As a programmer (if I could claim to be so self-proclaimed), I never understood why such a tool could not do a better job, especially with the strength of Microsoft.
"Remarks" Most of my blog posts are written in Windows Live writer, which can be said to have deep feelings.
This is a based on. NET-written tools. Microsoft is trying to prove it hard. NET writing tools is slow? Of course it shouldn't be like that. The reason may be only one, that is: do not pay attention. For example, Fiddler is another artifact written in. NET that is best-in-class, both in terms of user experience and performance.
In June this year, there was a message that Microsoft was ready to open the tool

I think this is certainly not bad news, there is a network post, in the collection of everyone's signature, said to let Windows Live writer survived

In fact, if it is a good product, should be more proactive to embrace the user, the initiative to change, I hope that Microsoft can make greater efforts in this regard. Open source or open source, this is not the key. At present also can use, although is passable.
Finally, I would like to say as a senior user, prompting everyone two points
1. After the installation, you can set up some ping servers, so that your blog post faster notification to the relevant search engine or content site
