Auto links in Windows Live Writer

2008-06-22

I’ve been enjoying the wonderful new features in the recent Windows Live Writer Technical Preview — it’s my fave blogging tool, and despite the name, these additions are mostly very easy-to-use.

Over at Lifehacker, Jared Goralnick shared a wonderfully visual guide which highlights the excitement. One feature in particular, automatic linking, caught my eye: it provides an easy way to simply type a frequently-used phrase and have it be automagically linked. I’ve created a quick video tip showing you how it works in action, and if you’ve never used WLW before, I highly recommend the experience! (Alas, no Mac or Linux version.)
