BETA: Windows Live Writer Technical Preview

image The Live Writer team has released a beta of Windows Live Writer (14.0.3913.522)which includes a few interesting new enhancements including:

  • SOAPBOX VIDEO UPLOAD
    The ability to upload videos from the Writer interface directly to MSN Soapbox without having to shell out to a browser to execute the upload.
  • IMAGE EDITING & CONTROL
    The ability to do more than resize & set margins for inserted graphics:  Now you can center images, crop the image, add a border style, & tilt them in the Writer interface.
  • LIGHTBOX SUPPORT
    Support for Lightbox scripting, a technology that allows viewers to enlarge thumbnail photos in your posts and expand them to hover over your text content.

image I can think of a few new features I’d like to see (like seamless Windows Live Skydrive support!) but so far this looks to be a good start.
