Aswe have documented in the past, Open Live Writer is an easy-to-use offline method of composing blog posts, complete with blog theme support, image editing, and a few other quintessential tools. Based on a fork of thewell–lovedbut not actively developedWindows Live Writercode, Open Live Writer is provided under anMIT license.

Ultimately, though, today’s announcement that the app will be available in the Windows Store is a splash of good news for those who once have used the application. The app is not quite available for download as of yet, but you can stay tuned to WinBeta, as once the app goes live we will be here to cover it for you.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
