Most club members receive posts via email. So the data has to stay aligned in rows and columns after being run through the email generator, as well as looking nice on the web page.

We have a treasurer who posts a monthly report, and a room supervisor who posts a weekly schedule. The natural way to present this data is in rows and columns. But neither of these posters has any experience with HTML. So although HTML tables would do the trick, I can't suggest they use tables without a visual editor for them.

Is Microsoft's Live Writer pretty much the only solution? (I've heard they're going to stop supporting it.) Can anyone suggest an alternative to Live Writer, or an alternative to tables?

Thanks for any help. (Blog is azscvgs.wordpress.com, redirects to scvgs.org.)

When posting in the text box I noticed a new "tab" on the above right, suddenly there are two? one said "visual" and the other said either "html or unicode", can't remember but I clicked that and VOILA everything returned to normal and I got my posts published!

I got a new laptop and it is windows 7, rather than the windows xp for my old desktop.

What I am looking for now is the BEST version for windows live writer.

I like the version for xp, except it does not post videos any more......however, this is not the issue....unless you can help with that.

This Xp compatible version has all the other features I like, menu side bar, menu at the top, ability to save draft to the desktop, ability to select all and then make changes to font, insert and edit is easy with a complete menu of options to pick from.....etc

I tried to download windows live writer 2011, and it said it was not compatible with my computer...that did not make sense, since the specs matched my computer, as far as I could tell - i3 processor, 4 GB , pixels, etc.

so I found a different earlier version....it is a nightmare....it does not have half the features my older version had.....and I cannot really use it ......it is a mess, so I am still using the XP version on my old desktop to post.

can you recommend a version ( i need the version #) that would most match what I have for my XP? I installed the xp compatible version in about 2009.

thanks

I go through the steps to add my blog and when it gets to it can't find my blog, I follow earlier recommends to change just the name of blog onhttp://<blogname>.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php. Well I did that and then I get a message that more than one blog is detected. That is true because I am using the manage blogs feature on WordPress. Do I have to make that blog the primary instead of the other one? When I didn't, the blog posted to the one that is primary.

I am "assuming" i have it set up right.

i also just uninstalled windows essentials and reinstalled. no change - it won't permit me to upload photos.

does anything come to mind other than what you've mentioned before?
