Welcome to our Family Blog

As you can see i have set up the blog for us to interact on. To post messages, upload images or video etc on the blog you need to use the Windows Live Writer.

Using Windows Live Writer
Download the Windows Live Writer from http://explore.live.com/windows-live-writer?os=other. Once downloaded please follow these instructions to set up the writer.

After you have downloaded Windows Live Writer, you will find it the Windows Live menu.  The first time you open it you will be presented with the dialog below prompting you to configure it.  Click the Next button.

Next you’ll be asked to specify which blog service you use.  As you can see, Live Writer is automatically configured for Windows Live Spaces and SharePoint blogs.  For BlogEngine.NET, you will want to select the “Other blog service” and click the Next button.

Now, you will need to provide your account information for your blog. Everyone has an account on the blog now. Username is your firstname and password currently is "raizada". You can change your password on the web-blog after you login.

After clicking the Next button, Windows Live Writer will go out and ensure it can connect to your blog and make all the settings needed to post to the blog.

It takes about a minute for Windows Live Writer to configure itself.  Once it has you will be asked to provide a nickname for the blog.  This is used within Windows Live Writer to distinguish between the different blogs you have setup.

One other option you are given on the is screen is to send notifications of blog updates to your Windows Live profile.  This is another way of advertising this blog.

Clicking the Finish button will take you to the application and you can now create blog entries.

One of the great features of using Windows Live Writer is that it picks up your theme and shows you exactly how the post will look like.

Happy writing.
