Three additional Windows Live Writer Plugins 1

Friday, I presented 9 WLW plugins that I use. Well, I’ve added a few more:

  1. Insert Formatted Clipboard [The most function of these three. Allows you the paste rich text from the clipboard. Sections of a spread sheet is copied as a table; web page regions can be copied, as well as formatted text.
  2. Insert Code [I don't expect to use this a lot, but should I want to explain a section of code, it will be ready to display the code with line number, alternate shading, etc.]
  3. Insert Files(s) [This give another way to upload pictures. I've tested, but not posted images using it. ]

My Window Live Writer Plugins 1

Here we go: [in order of importance to me]

  1. Flickr4Writer [simpler working within WLW, plus additional image control]
  2. SnagIt Screen Capture [simpler working within WLW]
  3. Text Template [I've incorporated HTML from other simple plugins]
  4. Twitter Notify [saves my writing the tweet and getting the Tiny URL]
  5. Imtech Find & Replace [amazing, without this pluging, I'd have to manually change text]
  6. Polaroid Plugin [not available otherwise ~ example]
  7. Insert Symbol [haven't used yet, but functional, e.g., © ® ¢ ° ¼ ½ ¾ ± ÷ ¶, etc. ]
  8. Bullets [haven't used yet, but functional, e.g., , etc.]
  9. Windows Live Image Search [I've found lots of images, just have not inserted any yet]

The plugins I’m using are invaluable and free to boot. They are really timesaver and allow one’s posts to be raised to the next level. I think serious bloggers should use Windows Live Writer or equivalent software, accompanied by plugins that are useful to them. I began using WLW just over a week ago.

Here are screen shots of my top three:

So, if you are a WLW user and not using plugins, do yourself a favor. If you are not a WLW user, there is still hope for you. BTW, I’m  now able to have more control over picture placement by using tables, some with lines and many without [like the group of 3 above]. I trust this post is useful. –jim

Okay, it’s time for a few laughs… Reply

I receive these jokes from a friend today and thought I should share them. If you are married and old enough, you may laugh more. Enjoy…

And then the fight started…

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, “What’s on TV?”
I said, “Dust.”
And then the fight started…
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for; our upcoming anniversary.
She said, “I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.”
I bought her a scale.
And then the fight started…

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive…
So, I took her to a gas station.
And then the fight started…

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.
The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver’s license to verify my age.
I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home.
I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.
The woman said, “Unbutton your shirt.”
So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.
She said, “That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me”
and she processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.
She said, “You should have dropped your pants.
You might have gotten disability, too.”
And then the fight started…
