how to change the Blogger template

choose Other and click blog service Next, enter the data of our blog (blog address, username - ie your GMail email - and your password), and Windows Live Writer understand automatically that you use Blogger / Blogspot (or any other service):
We click on Next and at this point will download the information from your blog:


If you want to add other blogs, just follow the procedure again. In the same menu (as you can see from the picture above) you have the list of blogs that you have entered simply click on it to decide where it will be published the post you're about to write . I do not remember If at this stage or the first post (he asked only the first time) you will automatically create an account on
Picasaweb for the publication of images (do not know whether to run on Live Spaces an account is created somewhere else). You will notice that the font and color used to write the post will be the same for your blog: Windows Live Writer

them automatically and stored them there once again to show us how it will look even as we write the post (including any background).

discover the main features of the interface

This bar contains the main functions of formatting the text and buttons to enter

links, images

, tables (this is already a change from the interface on the Web Blogger
or

Live Spaces), but also buttons to publish the article or save it as a draft (you can save it to your computer or directly - as always draft - on the blog, perhaps to complete the home after you have started to work) In this area write the title and content of the article to be published
The blog currently selected, which will be published on the article, which can change as described above

Inserting a link in the post The program is attentive to detail and when you insert a link in the post, will open this window with several options:
As you can see, beyond the address and the text displayed, you can specify whether you want the link opens in a new window useful for allowing a user to visit a link you are talking about him without losing sight of your blog. I use it always.

put an image in the post
image management

Windows Live Writer leaves really amazed. First, as I said, he will publish online the images included in your post, so just the stress of publishing and fetching address. Ok, so far almost nothing new, even from the web interface for Blogger we can insert images on your computer. But with the
Writer

we do not need the image is on your computer: simply copy it into memory

1. ! In the browser, for example, right-click on the image and click on "Copy Image ", then right click on post in our Writer and do "Paste " to find the image there, without having due to first save. We can also paste the image in Windows Paint , cut a piece and stick it in Writer . I add to these views, for example, I press CTRL + Print Screen to store the current window and paste it directly into Writer . Fantastic
2. . But insert a picture in Windows Live Writer
and see what else we can do:
5. We can size the image simply by dragging the borders with the mouse
6. We can choose the
'
7. image alignment: left, right, or in line with the text (if we want to align the center, just select it and click next to the image - not above - and
menu choose Format -> ; Align -> Center
8. . Sometimes it may happen that when you publish the post - or have a preview of the post - the image is moved to the left

, in this case, open the post to edit, rearrange the alignment, and republished)
margins of space, if you want to leave space at the top, bottom, left or right We can apply an effect to the image. For example, I always apply
Shadow, which puts a shadow on the edge giving it a sense of three-dimensionality. From this menu you can access other features: we can choose

the new image size, rotate ,
adjust the contrast or apply additional effects.

Windows Live Writer optimize the loading of your blog . Indeed image that you have entered it will be posted two: one with the actual size (which can be accessed in the usual way, that clicking on the image) and with the dimensions and effects that you have set and will displayed in the post, usually much smaller and therefore quicker to see
. The various views Going in the top menu and clicking on View , we see how well Normal default , you can view and edit the HTML of the post (if used essential in summary form the post I mentioned ), but also see the 'Web Preview: This amazing feature we will see our blog post with the already published (even if you have not actually done) to get an idea of \u200b\u200bhow it will look. We can also write directly to the post as well, choosing Web Layout.
The glossary link
Going

Tools -> Options and choosing Glossary link , you can attach text to a link:

Every time we use that particular text in the post, Windows Live Writer
2. automatically create a link that points to the address we have indicated . useful for example to point to a post of your own blog .
