Send Windows Live Writer to the System Tray

Oct/10 in Desktop, Web Development Tutorials

System Tray Access to Windows Live Writer Want to keep Windows Live Writer in the system tray toolbar? 

Searching around for various plugins and scripts to add onto the already pretty great Windows Live Writer I stumbled upon a tiny program that will let you do that.  Windows Live Writer System Tray is a small application that lives in your system tray giving you quick access to these Windows Live Writer features:

  • Start a New Post
  • Open an Existing Post
  • Show Options
  • Exit

This is the system icon that will be placed in your system tray when the app is started.  You can grab the free download on the Windows Live Writer System Tray web site.  If you enjoy Windows Live Writer as much as I do, I know you’ll appreciate being able to keep it handy in the system tray at all times.

5 Thing to Twitter About

Feb/27 in Online Apps

twitter I have friends that come to me and say…

"Ok Mitch, I got a Twitter account, now what?"

Many people look at Twitter and either don’t understand it or use it to give me a summary of what they had for breakfast (just in case you were wondering, I had toast). Here are five ways of twittering your way to success:

  • Share with me one of your bookmarks, or an article on a site you found interesting today
  • Grab a photo from your Flickr (or any other photo sharing service) site and link me to it
  • Plug your own blog, projects and work so I can check it out
  • Use a service like Twitter Feed to bring your other RSS feed content into your Twitter account
  • Invite your interesting friends, that you think should be twittering

If your looking for your first friend on Twitter feel free to use me:

Honestly I see no reason why any person or company shouldn’t be doing this. From a marketing stand point alone it is another great way to get yourself out there.
