About this tag
Windows Live Writer was a popular desktop blogging tool from Microsoft, part of the Windows Live Essentials suite. It allowed users to compose and publish blog posts offline, with support for multiple platforms including WordPress. In 2015, Microsoft supported an open-source fork called Open Live Writer, created by a team of volunteers. This fork continued development after Microsoft discontinued updates to the original Windows Live Writer. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover the transition to Open Live Writer, comparisons with other tools like Adobe Muse and Expression Web, and a security vulnerability (MS10-095) related to .wpost files. The tag reflects user interest in the tool's history, its open-source successor, and practical concerns about replacement options.
