As part of my work with CustomerExplosion, my Oklahoma City SEO company, it is important to evaluate tools clients can use to simplify work on their own blogs.
I have never tried Windows Live Writer before, so today is a good time to give it a try. One of the driving reasons for giving it a test is tables. While it is possible to create tables using HTML code in your WordPress posts, it is not something the average small business owner wishes to learn and spend time with.
Inserting a simple table using Live Writer appears to be one of the easiest options available. The only item you must do ahead of time is turning on your remote editing within the Writing Settings of your WordPress Blog, specifically the XML-RPC setting.
Once you have done this, you can step through adding your blog to Live Writer, and get an easy to use editor for your blog. By going under the Insert tab in Live Writer you can add a simple table as you see below:
|
Company Sales |
Cost of Sales |
Profits |
|
$1,000,000.00 |
$1.00 |
$999,999.00 |
|
$1.00 |
$0.01 |
$0.99 |
If you need tables in your WordPress Blogs, give LiveWriter a try. You will find this free download from Microsoft a great time saver.
