Blogging Tool for Beginners (very helpful)

Three days ago I was really troubled by how will I insert in a table on a wordpress blog post. I tried searching online, one suggest using Microsoft Word and save it as a web page. For unknown reason, I can’t find the “Save as Webpage” option. So, I asked Google again. I landed on a page suggesting that I should make the table on Gmail and then afterwards view it as HTML. Again, I can’t find the option. Funny how I can’t do anything right days ago.

You see I’m an online freelancer and I handle a couple of blogs for a certain person named “My boss”. It is imperative for me to make my post quality and that included inserting a well html coded table. Unfortunately, I’m not an IT graduate and have only few skills on HTML. So, I always ask Google for assistance.

Out of desperation I just used the insert text from MS option on Wordpress. However, I’m not satisfied with the result really. The table I inserted was too stubborn and it doesn’t follow the format I want. I ended up deleting it, unfortunately.

I saw I ray of light coming towards me as I remember this cool blogging tool I downloaded months ago in my dad’s laptop. Too bad my brother took it so I wasn’t able to use anymore. I tried downloading it, the Windows Live Writer. I was kind a worry that time because I was using an unupdated Windows XP Service Pack 2 but things went well.

Windows Live Writer is one of the free tool on Windows Essential 2011. It basically makes blogging easier for beginners. You can make great looking blog post in just minutes. It can also be connected to your blog platform online so you can publish your post via Windows Live Writer.

Back to my primary problem about the table. Windows Live Writer enables me to insert good looking table in no time. It really makes my blogging life easier  SERIOUSLY.
