Windows Live Writer Beta 2 released

Windows Live Writer Beta 2When we posted that the commercial WSIWYG blogging application Post2Blog had gone freeware, one reader pointed out that it looked a lot like Windows Live Writer.

  • Available in 6 languages
  • Support for new APIs
Existing Live Writer plugins should work with the new version, and Digital Inspiration has a nice list of useful plugins.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
