I use windows live writer to post on my blogs usually. From my last post, you may notice that I have added a different style, to my blog post. This is done just by the Live Writer. Its very simple, I have changed the <h6> style in the style sheet and I select the text which I need to put into this box.

Modifying the style

h6 {

    padding:10px;

    margin:5px;

    background:#d0d7ed;

    border:solid #698af4 1px;

    font-size:10px;

    font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

}

This is the style that I have used. Now I select the text which I need to show in the box with “Heading 6” from the drop down box on top. This way you can create good looking style boxes and use it on the fly.

The CSS given below is a very simple one. You can modify as you want and even you can use <h5> which is not much used. You should make sure that you should not use the the tags which you have modified.

I have just upgraded my windows live installation which has some very useful changes and I had been looking for these especially the image croping tool and the auto linking.

Now you just need to add the links to the glossary and when ever you type a word which is in the Glossary, it will be linked automatically.

Some of the new features that I have noticed :-

• Image Enhancements
• Crop tool added
• Border styles with reflection is something new for the Windows Live Writer

Now you see a new check box where you can enable auto linking for that term

Now I have added some screenshots to this post without using any image editor. For example the above image of the link inserting form, I just took a screenshot of the screen and pasted on this post, then used the crop tool to crop to this size.

So upgrade your Live writer now if you are using it already or just download live writer from writer zone
