Writer Now Supports Inserting Video
For those of you still using an older version of Windows Live Writer, here's a new reason to upgrade to our latest beta-- native support for inserting Video. Scott has put together a great and full featured plug-in for inserting video, but video is getting to be such a basic way of communicating on the web that we really needed support built into the product, at least for basic video publishing scenarios.
If you haven't upgraded yet, video may just be the reason to do it now!

Windows Live Beta 3 Ships
We've just shipped our most recent Beta of Windows Live Writer. Joe has a great write up of highlights and lowlights that you can check out to get the complete run down. One of the things that I really like about this Beta is that it addresses some of our most requested features, XHTML support and Blogger image publishing support. But my favorite of all? The fact that we no longer munge images unless we absolutely positively have to. This means that when you post screenshots like the one to the right here, they can look picture perfect. It's a little thing, but one that can really get under your skin if you post images.
If you haven't downloaded it yet, I think now is probably the time.

Paste Special in Windows Live Writer
When you paste HTML in Windows Live Writer, the application actually does some clean up (we call it 'thinning') of the HTML. The net effect of this is that most of the formatting is actually removed from the pasted HTML, and it ends up taking on the style of your weblog. This is great for pasting random HTML from the web or other applications, because now you don't have a bunch of mucked up formatting in your post.
There are times, however, when you actually would like a little more control of what gets pasted into Writer. Enter 'Paste Special'...
