Everyone knows that Windows Live Writer is an amazing tool for blogging. You can do many thing with Windows live writer which you can’t do in Wordpress dashboard while posting an article. Some of the best features include inserting image and video. Check spellings and word count. But here i am not going to discuss those features of Live writer because most of you are already aware of them.
Here i am going to explore some unknown and wonderful image editing feature of Windows live Writer from which you can increase the effectiveness of your post by many folds. Here i am using a wall paper image designed by Honey Singh of Honeytechblog . I am giving various effects to it using the features of Windows Live Writer. Just have a look:

Hi Debajyoti, well, it might be known to you but there are lots of newbies who are new in the field of blogging and they don’t even know about Windows Live writer.I wrote this article specially for those readers. Glad you already know about these features. I wish you can add some extra value in the article by suggesting some more features.
Right…
you should add the “Add Watermark” Tip in this Post….
Anyways do you know of any plugins inn WLW that might help us
Honestly, i was a big fan of Zemanta plugin, but due to hyper link suggestion on mostly Wikipedia articles(might effect SEO of blog) and heavy image suggestion (contains lots of codes making image and webpage bulky) on the post i found it useless. So i uninstalled it recently.
I dont know whether all of the above mentioned features are present in the latest wordpress release but some of them are surely there and i will prefer working via dashboard.
Just a personal opinion…..
