I really hope the great blogging tool Windows Live Writer will get better over time. Here’s my wish list, in case anybody from Microsoft is listening: fixing the jpg-png transformation bug an option for a cropped thumbnail. an option for choosing my own thumbnail name. wordpress has the -100×100.jpg naming system, wlw has -150×150.jpg system.
