deepglue555 you may want to start a new thread to get your answer.
also when i write to my blog its for the most part text editor and copy and past. also when using wordpress you can change the amount of lines you see when writing a post and make it full screen so writing long posts isnt an issue. I can see how this is a fun new tool but wordpress is just to amazing to switch from.

His blog is in DreamInCode, it's CMS system was built with programmers in mind. Wordpress was not, that's why this tool is great.

How many subdomains and directories does windows need to accomplish a URL for their products

http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/blog

I count 2 subs and 1 directory. No wonder why its not used, nobody can find it.

I still fail to see what is so epic. Real time preview of a blog post? I wouldn't particularly care. Write your post and hit preview, even DIC blogs have a preview button. So it cuts out one step for me, hardly something that would make me drop everything else in favor of this solution.

Is there anything else epic about it?

If you ever tried posting a very large tutorial with a lot of formatting in Wordpress you would see why this is epic.

If you really need formating that bad, just use an HTML editor before hand, then paste into the blog. I won't switch from WordPress just because this other one has "live preview". Whatever. What plugins to they offer? Plethora of themes? Widgets galore? Customizable? Probably not if it comes from WinBlows. I will stick to Ubuntu, thanks.

For the Mac users looking for a desktop blog editor: Ecto is the answer.

...and whats with the beef with Wordpress? Whats the argument against it? It seems to me to be a damn powerful publishing platform, I never saw the need to spend time writing my own platform.
