I’m not saying that I need to, or that it’s an issue, but in the case that you decide you’re going to move to something more elaborate, or if you just need to be able to completely reinstall Windows Live Writer, I collected enough information here to attempt to help out the average Windows Live Writer [desperate user].

I’m not stating that you can’t go to the the Windows Live Writer support forum and look it up, but this is more for general purpose and personal use; it’s also more than you’re going to get ‘stock’ from the support team from Microsoft.

It’s no secret, Windows Live Writer is a great program, but as with every program, it has a few missing spots. And with the Wave 4 beta being just released and seeing what little improvements have actually been made to the program, it can always use a few more.

One of my issues was the ‘autolinking’ in Windows Live Writer and importing links.

To define what that is, Windows Live Writer has a function to allow you to assign a word a hyperlink, and every time you enter/type that word it gets an active link. But there’s no option to import links, so importing/creating a link one at a time via Windows Live Writer is going to be really cumbersome.

I didn’t like that idea… I came up with my own solution.

Windows Live Writer Wave 4 beta still isn’t detecting themes properly and it doesn’t allow for the user to edit while using the theme.

That just takes away all the fun.

It tries to detect it, it says it downloads the theme, but when you attempt to edit, or create a new post it’s hosed. [still] BUT you can edit the theme manually and make it work for you.

Here’s what you need to do to fix it, so you can edit with the theme…

I’ve seen a few posts and complaints from folks saying they can’t get Windows Live Writer and the new WordPress Theme ‘Twenty Ten’; they can’t align images in EDIT mode.

There’s some heat flowing in the direction of Windows Live Writer for not being compatible, or people complaining that they’re going to drop Windows Live Writer because of this one theme; that’s not a logical choice.

And I’ve said this over and over, and here I go again, Windows Live Writer doesn’t always detect themes properly, and if it doesn’t detect it right- you can edit the CSS manually.

So, here’s the solution for Windows Live Writer and ‘Twenty Ten’…

The idea of having a world without having to buy gas for your car is outstanding; speaking solely of electric cars- the direction we’re going in now.

But what if you could make fuel out of thin air… that would spark your interest; it sparks mine.

One of the first things your going to need with Ubuntu 9.10 is FLASH player. I’m still not real happy with Ubuntu and Adobe on this mess; it’s just stupid.

How in the world is a new person to Ubuntu to understand half the gibberish crap about terminal commands, the tweaks to get the FLASH player installed?

While the Ubuntu forums are swarmed with them… this is what I did, it worked and it was painless in comparison to going to Adobe’s website to install the latest .DEB.

I really like the concept of free energy, getting off the grid and being more efficient in general.I found this video and I thought it was just so cool.

Most HOA [Home Owner Associations] have rules against wind turbines and/or solar panels because they make the other neighbors look stupid for not thinking of it first. But what if you could mount something to your house, perhaps in the top of the house, some thing that doesn’t spin in the wind and doesn’t weigh a ton…

Enter non-turbine wind alternative.

Mozilla Firefox 3.5 has been released and I have to admit that I’m really enjoying the competition between the two brothers. Google has really set the roof on fire with this competition between Firefox and Chrome.

The updates from Mozilla are coming out faster, chrome is already on version 3 of their flagship browser. The battle between Mozilla and Google over who has the best browser is really kicking in some pure competitive spirit that we haven’t seen in a long time.

Ever since chrome has come out onto the market it has really put a fire under the competition. Internet Explorer is still underdeveloped and so outclassed in comparison to the open-source efforts presented by Mozilla and Google; it’s extremely funny.
