To some extent, I have the same issue with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/\">Google<\/a> in that sometimes I find them really useful but then I get uncomfortable with storing all of my information &quot;in the cloud&quot;, rather than on a server that I control (and don&#8217;t get me started on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2007\/11\/25-million-people-caught-up-in-uk-government-data-security-fiasco.htm\">data that the UK Government stores on me<\/a>&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>Well, for once, Microsoft seems to have the right idea.&#160; It may all be based around shoring up their traditional cash cows of Windows and Office, but instead of saying &quot;forget the desktop&#8230; switch to the webtop&quot;, they are developing applications that bridge the gap between desktop and web (as are Google with <a href=\"http:\/\/gears.google.com\/\">Google Gears<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>A few months back I wrote about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2007\/08\/blogging-from-within-microsoft-office.htm\">blogging from within Microsoft Office<\/a> and this is my first post using <a href=\"http:\/\/get.live.com\/writer\/overview\">Windows Live Writer<\/a>.&#160; Although I&#8217;ve only been using it for a few minutes I&#8217;m impressed &#8211; and this is why:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Firstly, although the installer told me about the other Windows Live applications that I might like to try, it didn&#8217;t force them on me. <\/li>\n<li>Secondly, it was perfectly happy to accept that I don&#8217;t use Windows Live Spaces for blogging. <\/li>\n<li>Thirdly, it was able to detect the settings for my WordPress site without me supplying any more than a URL, username and password &#8211; and then the advanced settings were quite happy with the idea that I publish images via FTP rather than storing them in the WordPress database. <\/li>\n<li>It also downloaded the stylesheet that I use, so as I write this (offline), I can see what the post will look like when I publish (there are options to view unstyled, with the layout that I use on the site, preview the post on the site, or view the code).&#160; I can also see that it&#8217;s also using valid XHTML. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the last few years, I&#8217;ve been writing on the train using Windows Notepad or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gnome.org\/projects\/gedit\/\">gedit<\/a>, then coming home and finishing the post with weblinks and additional information.<\/p>\n<p>Now I can streamline the process with Windows Live Writer (including setting categories and a publishing date) so that the rework when I get home <em>should<\/em> be fairly minimal.<\/p>\n<h3>Links<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com\/\">Windows Live Writer team blog<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a strange relationship with Microsoft&#8217;s Windows Live services.&#160;
