Zoundry Raven vs Live Writer: Fight! « Scott's Windows Live Ramblings - 0 views

  • in Live Writer, if you omit the http:// from your blog address, it will add that for you, ZR doesn’t. ZR also detects this blog incorrectly as being “Wordpress (ver 2.1 or ealier [sic])” whereas this blog is actually Wordpress 2.9.2, so almost there, but not quite.
  • Live Writer also downloads the blog’s theme so that you can edit your post as it would appear in your blog (ZR offers this, but in a slightly different way, see later).
  • there is a difference in how much is offered to each blog. Live Writer pips this due to the extra XHTML, Right To Left support, plug-in support, turning on script and embedding support
  • ...22 more annotations...
  • Live Writer, it downloads the blog’s theme automatically and offers this as default, so straight away as soon as you start writing your blog post, you’re already looking at the style your blog has:
  • ive Writer’s theme detection has, since the very beginning, been very good at grabbing the theme and formatting it [almost] perfectly within the editor window.
  • where things start to fall down for ZR, when it started to get my theme it ultimately failed with an error:
  • the big difference comes in and swings this more towards Live Writer. As noted above with the themes, Live Writer lets you actually write your blog post as if you were writing in your actual blog, this means you can get the layout just how you want it.
  • ZR does offer WYSIWYG editing, it’s not quite up to that same standard of “cool.”
  • One thing that ZR does have for post editing that has been requested for Live Writer is tabbed support.
  • both editors let you insert images into your blog post and arrange the post where you want them to go, you can create thumbnails of the images.
  • However, Live Writer does come into its own when it comes to editing the image. ZR offers your basic properties of an image, adding alt tags, etc:
  • although at least ZR will let you [in a roundabout way] edit the name of a pasted image, rather than just having Imagex.png. You also can’t insert a web image easily in ZR, although for Wave 3 on Windows 7, neither can Live Writer, not without a plug-in.
  • Live Writer on the other hand has a multitude of different things you can do with the image:
  • crop the image, rotate, tilt, add effects, etc.
  • plug-in architecture in Live Writer for 3rd party developers to write enhancements for it, adding further functionality so that you can do a whole multitude of things. This just simply doesn’t exist in ZR.
  • With ZR, even having done added a blog template, it still doesn’t actually let you write your blog post using that theme, it only lets you preview it using that theme:
  • Another nice feature that ZR has over Live Writer (although quite why this isn’t in Live Writer is beyond me) is search and replace!
  • , there is already one feature that rocks for Live Writer, and that is the split post feature.
  • insert a split into your post, it means anything above it will appear on your front page, and everything else will appear once you’ve gone to the full article.
  • providers are now supporting it (wordpress, Community Server, blogger, to name a few).
  • Save as draft
  • acking in ZR,
  • Through its plug-in architecture, developers have been able to add extra functionality to Live Writer, like Flickr support, ImageShack (of sorts), uploading non image files, and various other services.
  • ZR, however, does this out the box, this is quite cool, especially if you want to keep all your images (blog or otherwise) in one central place, rather than split across different services.
  • Live Writer offers video support for YouTube, both the browsing, and uploading, of videos, right from within Live Writer
