On Saturday I wrote about an application that would allow you to use Windows Live Writer on a USB key, taking it with you, wherever you needed it. And for the most part, I’m very happy with the way that it works.

I found out about this app on TechLifeBlogged, and admittedly it did come with a couple of caveats to be aware of. Such as:

1. When you move your device from a different computer you might not see your drafts and latest posts in the right hand pane. Just go to File -> Open and you will be able to select these files.

2. Between machines the style of your weblog doesn’t always stick. If you want to get it again by clicking Weblog -> Edititing and the click the Update Style button.

3. Sometimes between machines you are prompted for the weblog password again.

4. On Vista you will get the ‘Allow’ prompt if you have User Account Control (UAC) turned on (default condition in Vista). This is unavoidable at the moment. The launcher does some manipulation that Vista only lets administrators do.
