Blog It with WLW Firefox Extension/Addon
Users of Internet Explorer and the excellent Windows Live Toolbar have a Blog It button. By default it goes to the Spaced editor but once Windows Live Writer is installed you can set if to use that instead.
With Windows Live Toolbar being an Internet Explorer only addon Firefox users which stumble upon a bloggable page need to manually kickstart their Windows Live Writer, copy & paste title, copy & paste a quote and finally copy & paste the URL.
No more!
The Blog It with Windows Live Writer Firefox extension adds the same ability to the right-click menu of Firefox. You can also add a button to one of your toolbars if you wish (see left).
Hitting the Blog It button with or without text selected will first pop up a destination screen where you can select which blog to post to. It then starts WIndows Live Writer with the right blog selected and creates the draft of a new post.
The title of your new post is the page title of the page you’re bloggin about. It is the title as it appears in the title bar of your browser.
If you had selected any text that text will be included as a blockquote.
The post finishes with a source reference to the page you’re blogging. It is a hyperlinked version of the page title as it appears in the title bar of your browser.
A most useful Firefox extension/addon — and a great resource for Windows Live Writer. Definitely a keeper.
