Feral Code Monkies

So I just installed the Windows Live Writer, which allows you to create and publish blog postings from the program.  What makes it much nicer than doing it on the actual site is that the application supports plug-ins.

For instance, the one that I really wanted that started me down this path was the Syntax Highlighter plug-in, which takes source code that you paste in to it, and formats it nicely for the blog.  Here’s a simple Hello World example to show off what it can do:

#region Using Directives
using System;
#endregion

namespace TestApp
{
	public static class App
	{
		[STAThread]
		public static void Main()
		{
			Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
		}
	}
}

I intend to spend some time learning what Live Writer can do for me, as well as what Windows Live has to offer.  So far, I’m impressed.  I’ll record my learning here.
