Windows Live Writer- sucks!

For all you people out there, who have been raving about Live Writer, GOD! did you try it out?

1) Doesn't have automated spell check like Word. I actually have to click on a button.
2) Doesn't publish images on Blogger. The reason given is that blogger doesn't publish images but it is Live Writer's job to see that all blog sites take their images.
3) Publishes draft posts to Blogger as live posts! Imagine my shock today afternoon to find that something I had drafted has been live since yesterday!!

1) Go into Tools->Preferences then turn on automatic spell-check if not done so already.

2) Well, it does publish images on other blogging platforms (even non-microsoft ones like Wordpress)
So did you check if there are any blogger specific settings you need to fix?

3) I want to say this is a blogger problem ... but yes ... if it cannot deal with drafts properly, then rather no upload anything at all. That should be the default.

Still ... is WindowsLiveWriter sending the correct draft-status, and blogger ignoring it?

1) Just-trying-to-find-more-points-to-bitch-about :-)

2) I know it does on others. And, it probably is Blogger's mistake by not making a decent interface. It is also possible that WLJ just, well- suck.

3) WLJ's fault entirely.

Windows live writer is very impressive... don't say such bad things about it!!!

I am using it with blogger.com and it works perfectly fine. Please check your settings.

It seems you have pirated version of the windows live writer beta... lol ;-)
