Few days back one of the ReviewSaurusr (oops, web 2.0 effect on the dino!!) Abhishek Bhatnagar of TechnixUpdate asked a question that how exactly he can insert images in the Windows Live Writer as he’s using Blogger as his platform and it is only possible to publish the images with Windows live writer through FTP. Now, that is actually a big concern because, if one already has webspace then the person will love to upload the whole blog on that webspace only and not on blogger. But, now that we know that this option is not there, then lets see what alternative can be used, to insert the images in blog posts through Windows Live Writer and that too for blogger platform. Although, I’m late in making this post as Abhishek has already moved over to self hosted Wordpress, but I thought that at least this post will help others.
In order to achieve this we have to use a plugin for Windows Live Writer called Flickr4Writer. This plugin allows users
to insert images from a particular user in the blog posts and even insert the images which are uploaded by other users. Although, this is not the best of the solution at this point of time but considering the fact that how difficult it can be when you are using a blogging client and blogger as the publishing platform, it is a much easier solution and worth as well. You just have to upload the images on your flickr account first and then you can easily insert those images using Flickr4Writer. I’m sure that you’ll simply love this very famous plugin and if you are a regular Flickr user then you’ll find yourself, getting addicted with this wonderful plugin.
