Instamaps with Windows Live Writer

Nepenthe and Highway 1

Experimenting with Windows Live Writer's built in mapping tools.

I suspect they won't work with LJ, as the HTML contains a lot of CSS...

Ah, it did work. Rar! Another tool for your blogging pleasure!

It's in the bloody dictionary now...

...so it's probably far too late for Google to nastygram newspapers using the word "google"...

In June, Google won a place in the Oxford English Dictionary, while "to google", with a lower case "g", was included last month in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, America's leading reference book.

The online service WordSpy, meanwhile, defines "google" as: "To search for information on the Web, particularly by using the Google search engine; to search the Web for information related to a new or potential girlfriend or boyfriend." This is also what pops up first if you type "googling" into Google.

So, will we be googling for Google's google smack downs?
Is this from the "shutting-the-stable-door-after-the-horse-has-bolted-and-is-now-in-a-different-country" department?

Plugins For Windows Live Writer

The first two plugins for Windows Live Writer have come out, a Flickr plugin and a tool for adding tags (with a set of templates that include LiveJournal and Technorati tags).

Worth installing if you're playing with it!

(Blogging this as notes for an article I'm writing on it...)
