QuestionHow Can I Use Live Writer as the Editor for a Custom Blog or CMS?

    After watching a Scott Hanselman video I was sold on Live Write and sold others on my team in using it. I work for an internet publishing company and it makes sense for us to see if Live Write can be integrated into a .NET CMS application so it becomed the test/HTML editor. The only other choice is to wrangle with using the FCK editor...ugh. Any ideas or places I can look at to see how this has or might be accomplished?

    For Live Writer to integrate to your CMS, the CMS would have to have some kind of implementation of either metaweblog or atom publishing. If you got either of those implemented then Live Writer will easily hook up to your CMS.

    Just check xmlrpc.php in wordpress, or metaweblog.axd in blogengine.net
    It is realy simple to implement for any kind of cms
