Windows Live Writer

I was reading about Live Writer today and the thing that caught my attention is that it was possible to create posts off-line and publish them later.

Everything you always wanted to tell about, but were afraid to

Doug Burns has started something that might become quite interesting. I hope there will be some excellent material in the comments on Doug’s post about something we all do once in a while. The people that Doug knows and read/comment on his blog didn’t become quite so good without their fair share of “Human Error” stories.

I can relate to that.

Please, don’t be shy and tell us your story. We can all learn from it.
