I’ve recently experimented using Windows Live Writer, a part of Windows Live Essentials, to publish a post to my WordPress blog. Turns out that Writer fully supports WordPress blogs, even those that use the software downloaded from wordpress.org (as opposed to hosting one on wordpress.com). The process is very simple, and I’ve listed down the basic steps to get started.

It’s important to note that I host the blog myself, and I’ve installed the WordPress software on my server, that I downloaded from wordpress.org. To get started, the pre-requisites are:

  1. A working installation of WordPress blogging software
  2. A Windows computer
  3. Windows Live Essentials suite
