It used to be that the only way you would be updating your own website would be if you knew HTML and how to make all that code happen in a simple text editor. Then came WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editors. These usually required you to still know some FTP information for getting your edited files from your computer onto the server hosting your website.

Not anymore.

Now there are content management systems that integrate with your website and allow you to make changes to your content. Systems like TypeRoom.

TypeRoom has two different versions: TypeRoom Lite and TypeRoom Professional. Depending on the amount of pages you need and the size of your site, you’ll pick the one you need.

TypeRoom has a number of modules that allow you to take as much control or as little as you need. Custom designs, CSS styling, pre-formatted content, and more. TypeRoom also plays well with other web services like WordPress for blogging and services like forums and photo galleries.

A search for “Live Writer” in the Microsoft Download Center took me to this page. It is an old page from which I downloaded the 2.3MB installer and tried to install the required software. Thrice. It gave me hell, with the installation hanging at 99% each time.

I then googled for a direct setup file of Live Writer and landed here. When we press “Download” button on this page, it redirects us to a funny page while the download of a new 1.1MB installer starts.

The installer worked, thankfully. But take a look at the funny page I just mentioned. It is common knowledge that Microsoft likes to treat its users as dummies. But what can any dummy make out of a page which has three empty screenshots that look like an idle artist’s doodles and three messages which start with “If you see a message asking if you want to…” and are followed by non-keywords? And which responsible website of such great importance not update itself even when a later version of installer is available?

Very helpful again, Microsoft.
