This is a test post from Windows Live Writer. Ok, just checked and the test worked. So, let me describe exactly what I had to do to get this working.

First, obviously, download and install Windows Live Writer. Next, fire it up and start configuring it. As for myself, positing to my blogs at Sun required that I first go to my blogs and change my password from its (then) current setting to a new one. (The “default” password that works for Sun employees is apparently their LDAP password. It is a good idea to choose a different password to access your blogs, since authoring tools might choose not to secure it when they pass it along to the server). Next, I went to the “Preferences” page (in my blog), changed to the “Maintenance” sub-tab, and cleared my page load cache.

Continue filling up the entries in the rest of the configuration dialog. That is it! Enjoy!
