When I first started blogging, I always tend to use the admin page of wordpress for writing my blog articles. But now, I am really satisfied with my 2 tools for updating my blog entries. The two tools I am pertaining is Adobe Contribute CS3 and Windows Live Writer. There are differences in these two softwares, number one of course is that Live Writer is from Microsoft but it is downloadable for free and Contribute CS3 is from Adobe and it costs $149 US Dollars. But, even Contribute CS3 is not for free it is not only used for blogging but also for web developers for maintaining their own or client’s website.

Website integrity with Dreamweaver integration

Contribute CS3 uses Dreamweaver CS3 templates, ensuring accurate updates to websites designed with Dreamweaver. Look and feel is never compromised, even when multiple authors update content across the site. Authors can only update areas designated by the designer or webmaster, so the site always appears as the designer intended. And just like Dreamweaver, Contribute preserves code quality and formats throughout the editing process.

Taken from adobe.com

The best thing I like in Adobe Contribute CS3 over Windows Live Writer is its ability to display the original web layout and edit from there which is not available in Live Writer. There are still a lot of features to discover in these softwares and I will be pointing it out as I use it for my daily blogging routines.
