Sit and pay attention. Microsoft wants to make a blogger’s life easier with their new Windows Live Writer. Its supposed to work with blogging software like Wordpress and makes uploading images easier. Well, another good feature is that it can add Windows Live Local maps so that authors can easily add geographical data to their entries. I have not downloaded it yet but from the screenshot, it can save drafts as that’s one function I’m waiting for,…..I just hope it does not store my username and password and passes it on to Bill Gates…

Windows Live Writer works with Microsoft’s Windows Live Spaces, which launched earlier this month, and third-party blogging software such as Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad and WordPress.
