How to: FeedDemon to Windows Live Writer
FeedDemon, my preferred RSS reader, comes with a Send To option which enables it to do a Blog This.
Unfortunately the current release doesn’t send any of the part of the post to Windows Live Writer.
Nothing is lost though as there is a small plugin (5 KiloByte), the author calls it a proxy, which can perform some magic and kickstart WIndows Live Writer with the post title, post content, link and all. (download link at the end of this post).
Installation is as simple as extracting the files and putting them wherever you want on your computer. Start FeedDemon and click on one of the Send To icons (marked in red on this screenshot).
Browse through the entailing menu’s: Blog this News Item
Configure Blog Publishing Tools.

In the next window click on Add and in the following window give a name to the tool you’re adding. I would suggest Windows Live Writer or just Live Writer.
Click the Browse button. Don’t browse to Windows Live Writer but browse to one of the two files you just extracted. Depending on your computer’s setting it is either FeedDemonToLiveWriter.exe or just FeedDemonToLiveWriter. Click it, and keep hitting the OK buttons until you’re all done.
Now when you see something in your FeedDemon feeds that you want to blog about, click on Send To, Blog this News Item and from the list of blog publishing tools select the one you just added (remember: you gave it a name).
For a moment a small, black window flashes up. This is the plugin, the proxy, doing its job of sending the post information to Windows Live Writer. Seconds later Windows Live Writer starts with the post of your choice.
