Thanks for the info. Meanwhile, does the update come via Windows update?
@MobileJGames,
It does not come with Windows Update. There is separate installer around 4.5MB size which can be downloaded from the link above.

am thinking of trying it again now .. do you use livewriter for the posts ?
@ken-G,
I use WLW for all posts.
thanks for the update buddy…i just love wlw.
This is a great one…I have been waiting for this…
Since I started blogging I use WLW, I couldn’t keep off from it. Now it looks cool with the Edit/Preview/Source tabs…
cool man, i updated my WLW but still a habit takes time to change
, will get used to WLW in some time
Nice to have. I’ve been using this kind of feature in BlogDesk for quite a long time.
It is one of my fav tools. The changes added make it even better
I love this improvement…Makes blogging more easier!
