Install Windows Live Writer & Use With Your weblogs.asp.net account

This morning I went about finally setting myself up with Windows Live Writer so that I can start taking my blog experience a little more serious. This post will document the procedure needed to setup you weblog.asp.net blog with Windows Live Writers blogging tool.

1) Download and Install Windows Live Writer(http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/)

2) Start the program. It should launch the configuration/setup wizard. Click Next.

6) It will run through an install and identify the name of you blog and finish. You are now all set.

I already like the interface. It makes it very easy to add images and code snippets. In fact, this post was created with it.
