It never seems to amaze me on the level that Microsoft creates and distributes these applications; and they can’t provide answers as to why they don’t work— if anyone should understand why they wouldn’t Microsoft should know…
So, back to Windows Live Writer and it not starting or crashing.
While Windows live writer is definitively the best off-line blogging tool that there is currently, there’s still some problems with the application. One of the biggest disappointments for Windows live writer was the release of version 2011; where the only thing that they updated basically was the ribbon GUI.
I wanted to do a rough comparison between Windows Live Writer and an application that Microsoft produced roughly 15 years ago…
I’ve been noticing a rollout of the new shorter URL’s from YouTube, and I’ve also noticed that they don’t seem to work so well inside Windows Live Writer [v15 [15.4.3508.1109]]… For instance, when I go to YouTube and pull out a video, the URL looks like this…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fehTG17FKLA
And using that URL to insert an image works just fine. But the new short URL from YouTube; it no ‘worky’ as well… or at all.
It seems like an easy enough deal but what if you don’t want to do that? NOW what do you do? What options do you have…
Well here’s one way…
But there are others who would prefer for this not to happen so frequent, or would like to do this every minute— cause you can only do this by minute.
So with the new version, they changed up the GUI and removed options to some settings, but they weren’t removed from the registry.
