Windows Live Writer Copying Tables into your WordPress Blog

David A. Podgursky, mentioned he uses Windows Live Writer to import tables into his blogs. I have heard of it but I just didn't get around to using it. So per Dave's advice I decided to download it and install and give it a whirl.

I am using Windows Live Writer to show statistics on my blog and using this new tool makes it a lot easier and you can also use Windows Live Writer to post content on your blog.

The first video below will show you how to use WLR to add content to your outside blog.

This second video shows you how to add a table of data to your blog.

Hi George and Ray,

One thing we have started to notice is that our outside blog has actually reached higher search rankings than AR. Not all the time but enough so that we really feel our outside blog has been worth building.

SOrry to be so dense - but assume (and I hate to do that!) I could import an Excel Spreadsheet in and then upload into a blog?? That would be GREAT! I'm doing my business plan in Excel - and would like to share the tools I've developed.

Ray, I'll check it out and thank you.

Maureen, I am finding it frustrating myself.

Eleanor, Do you have an outside blog? I think you could do it. Thanks for the Kudos.

Hi Jay, I'm surprised that you didn't post about the Monday Night Football game this week. What a game! Yikes, I was sweating and my heart was jumping out of my chest thinking that the Pats could goo down to the Ravens. Oh me of little faith!

I have been manually typing my tables into wordpress. yucky! This makes it so much easier. Can't wait to go try it. I LOVE the video tutorial. What a great program. I particularly like that you didn't edit it to make it work perfectly on the first time. Trial and error is the key with all technology!

I am trying to configure and am stuck at entering "the remote posting URL for your weblog". Any ideas?

Hello Jay, thanks for the tutorials.

I also use a Wordpress blog along with my AR blog. Is there a way to use WLR to post to both your WP & AR blogs?

Thanks again for the help.

Hi Ginger, sorry I missed your comments. I did see your posts so I hope all is well. My mind has been a little fuzzy lately. LOL

Tyler, I haven't been able to get it to work with AR, when I get some time I might play with it more.

Jay- I got it working and then when I moved everything over to bluehost, I can't get it to work now. So frustrating. I need to keep on trying!

Hello Jay. I have no problem getting the WLR to add the table and then publishing it to the blog. All is fine there. If I make a change though (spelling or any edit) on the WP side, then table is then deleted. Have you had that problem?

Tyler, at least I am not the only one. Yes that has happened and is very frustrating. I have stopped using WLW not because of that but just because I just do it in WP. Hope this helps. Thanks
