I have made no secret about how I think that Windows Live Writer (WLW) is one of the all time great applications put out by Microsoft. For me is you are a Windows users and a blogger you are making a big mistake is you aren’t using WLW. A long with a great product they also have a great team working on it who go out of their way to be involved with the blogging community that uses the software.

While they might have a forum for people to be in contact with them I find that when I have things I want to talk about or suggest to the WLW team I usually end up using my blog. Such is the case now as I have three things that I would really like to see added to the blogging tool.

The first is the ability to add a caption to a image that is inserted into a post. I realize that the Polaroid plugin allows for this but I would like to see it added as a native option to the Image Insert.

Second I would like to be able to have a text pop out option that will let you add a section of text in a separate “box” that can have a different border and/or text style – much like you see in magazines and news articles in order to highlight a specific “quote”.

The last suggestion would probably be better suited to a plugin rather than a native option for the program but I would really like to see support for some of the plugins used on our blogs. Primarily among these would be support for PodPress [nw] and/ or Podango [nw] so that we could add audio podcast type things that would take advantage of the options provided by PodPress.
