Windows Live Writer Portable lets you blog on the go
by Brad Linder Sep 11th 2007
Do you use Windows Live Writer to update your blog at home, but wish you had it on the go. Of course the simplest solution is to get a laptop and carry it around with you everywhere. But if you'd rather not lug a 6 pound machine and 23 pounds of accessories in a bag, you can install Windows Live Writer to a flash drive and run it from pretty much any PC.Microsoft doesn't officially release a portable version of Windows Live Writer, but developer Scott Kingery has stepped up to the task. With the recent release of Windows Live Writer 3 Beta, Kingery has released an updated version of his portable launcher.
Not only does thew new launcher work with the latest Microsoft beta, it also works with SanDisk's U3 launcher platform. If you've purchased a flash drive from SanDisk in the last few years, odds are it has U3 preloaded. On the down side, this means you have a few MBs less free space on the drive than advertised. On the upside, it means you have a nice little program launcher that looks something like the Windows start menu. It's not quite as customizable as the PortableApps launcher, but it'll do in a pinch.
Kingery has detailed sets of instructions for installing a portable version of Windows Live Writer on his blog, including steps for U3 users and steps for those using a non-U3 flash drive.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
