Post BLOGGER PAGES with Windows Live Writer

I visit the forums for Windows Live Writer a lot to attempt to help others where Windows Live Writer lacks some native abilities or if some people are just lost on how to use the application [since theirs no help manual].

But there’s a reoccurring issue/question in the forum about not being able to establish PAGES for BLOGGER from inside Windows Live Writer.

For some reason, the Windows Live Writer team just hasn’t gotten around to that yet, but there was a comment left the other day about how someone else did it, but it didn’t cover the issue of inserting images or other media...

So I offer this...

As everyone knows around this time, Windows Live Writer v14 doesn't have the native option to ADD/EDIT PAGES with BLOGGER.

And the new version of Windows Live Writer Wave 4 [v15] doesn't have the option either. I would submit feedback to the Windows Live Writer team to ensure they know you want this feature. [as do many others]

You can, like others, submit your feedback/request to Windows Live Writer:
     http://feedback.live.com/default.aspx?productkey=wlwriter

BUT...

As an alternative, compose whatever you want  in Windows Live Writer [including images and other media]

and POST that to BLOGGER as a DRAFT.

Now that the information has been posted as a draft, essentially the information is already there, stored online.

Go to BLOGGER [via the web browser], open your account, find the DRAFT that was posted, under EDIT POSTS

Now switch to HTML mode and COPY [CTRL-a/CTRL-c] all the HTML from that post.

 

Now in BLOGGER [under POSTING] establish a NEW PAGE...

Now switch to HTML mode and PASTE the code, title the page and then PUBLISH...

You're Done.

 

Also, KEEP THE DRAFT; this way if you ever need to edit it, it's very easy- just a little copy paste and your done.

 

I hope this helps...

 

Until next time,
