Posted with WLW

I have to say how much I appreciate the great job the new Blog project team is doing.  For a long time, I blogged fairly regularly on DotNetNuke.com.  Ultimately, I decided to start writing my primary blog on my own site and only occasionally reposting to DotNetNuke.com.  When I moved to my own site, I also decided to switch blogging platforms.  I needed something which supported many of the modern blogging features.  For me the killer feature is Windows Live Writer (WLW) support.  Editing a long blog post in the FCK editor is painful.  Anyone who has ever lost a blog post because of a login timeout knows just how painful it truly can be.  I spend an hour or more writing my blog posts and to have it just disappear is enough to make you cry.

Not only have the blog team answered my desire for WLW support, but they have also been slowly but surely addressing many other pain points with the Blog module.  They are quickly bringing the look of the blog up to modern standards and are retrofitting many key features into the blog.  I am almost ready to dump this other blogging platform and move back to the DotNetNuke blog module.

Now I just need to find some time to write some code to support BlogML and I'll be good to go.  Of course, if the blog team beats me to it that would be great.  In the meantime I have to say well-done and a big kudos to you all.
