I’ve just released a new and improved version of my Import and Export Wizard for Windows Live Writer.
What’s new ?
Click here to download the latest version.
As I’ve mentioned before, my favorite application for writing posts for my blogs is Windows Live Writer. Sometimes I use it on more than one PC. In such cases what I want is to have all my plug-ins and other settings to be synchronized on all computers. Doing it manually requires time and effort. Since I haven’t found anything like this on internet, I’ve decided to create a plug-in that will do it for me.
The wizard allows you to export chosen settings from Writer to external file and/or even on FTP folder (and soon SkyDrive). So when you import settings on another PC you can access this data remotely. In addition this is also a good way of backing up your configuration so you can restore to your existing working environment right after installing the Live Writer and the Import/Export plug-in.

My favorite application for writing posts for my blogs is Windows Live Writer. It’s very flexible and pretty simple to use and works perfectly with my blog service. In addition it can be extended with plug-ins and there are plenty of them that can be found and downloaded from here.
One absolutely useful feature that I use in each post is Auto Linking. Quite often while writing a post you find yourself inserting links to external resources or other posts. In case you add same link very often you can save time by adding it to the Auto Links list and next time its addition will be much faster thus making you more productive and allows you to concentrate on the post content only.
How to configure it
Click on the Tools –> Options menu item on the main window. On the left side of the opened window choose the Auto Linking option. Here you can manage the list of your commonly used links – add/edit/delete.
Another quick way to add link to auto linking glossary is by adding a new link manually and checking the option named Automatically link to this text. I believe this is the fastest and natural way of doing it.
Live Writer can be downloaded for FREE from Windows Live Essentials.
Enjoy it !
