More on Wave 3: Windows Live Writer to support YouTube, Events and Photo Albums

Having told you about what's coming in Messenger, Mail, Movie Maker and Photo Gallery, it's now time to cover the next one in the series: Windows Live Writer. Let us start off with a screenshot for you:

We've noticed on the right pane that you can now insert "Events" (Windows Live Events?) and "Photo Albums" into your blogs. From the screenshot it's already showing what it will look like when you insert a Photo Album into your blog post - it even includes an option for slideshows.

The next screenshot shows that Windows Live Writer now supports directly uploading videos onto YouTube! Also take note of the tab "From Video Source" - the current version of Writer only mentions "From Soapbox", meaning the new version will support inserting videos from other video sources other than Soapbox as well. Keep in mind that Movie Maker will also support uploading videos onto MSN Soapbox, YouTube and other video sharing websites.

Thanks to Picturepan2 from LiveSino again for the info!

I think Google should totally get together with the WLW guys asap and put together sign-in and favorites functionality like Soapbox has in WLW right now.

WLW (and most WL apps, including the upcoming WLMM that Google should be talking to Microsoft about too) isn't just for Windows Live services, and Google should recognize that asap and start cracking.

I for one write a blog in WLW, but on Blogger. It works like a dream, although I'm thinking about changing my layout a bit as I'm sick of the default one.

Luckily there's a way to change the color scheme of the Wave 3 applications. Everything is too white or grayish. I think it's ugly.

And yay for YouTube. I hope there's room to support the other better video services like Vimeo, DailyMotion, Brightcove, Revver, etc. When it comes down to it all, Soapbox is the worst. It used to be good, but it's downright awful.

@quikboy

although we can change the color scheme of the Wave 3, but as you see in Writer the text header is black. So we can't change the background to something dark ? like black, blue and many beautiful colors

just hope we can change the text too

I do hope that the new Video inclusions let me publish videos not just in my Live Spaces blog but also in LiveJournal where up until now I have not had much success. What about including Flickr as well seeing as this is included inside Windows Live Photo Gallery?

You can use windows live frameIt with Popfly "RSS" block - just put the RSS feed of choice in there.  You can then hook it to any of the Popfly's displayer blocks.

For most of them you will also need to set the image input to the RSS's "mediaLink".Iam all hoping that windows live frameit will work the zune.

How well does it work with "Copy Paste" from "Word"?

How about ability to connect to SharePoint wikis?

That would be ever so sweet.
