Our next release which is almost complete will allow posting to the Ventrian News Articles module using Windows Live Writer. If you use the Ventrian News Articles module, you'll love the level of integration with Windows Live Writer provided by metaPost. The New Features video shows how easy it is to use metaPost to take advantage of some of the built in News Articles features like
- Multiple pages
- Setting the Featured flag from within WLW
- Setting the Secure flag from within WLW
- Adding a featured image from within WLW
- Setting the Expiration Date (Professional Edition, if requested, we'll also put this in the Community Edition)
- Optionally exclude footer per WLW account (Coming soon in the Professional Edition)
Combine all this with the ability that metaPost provides to import your theme into Windows Live Writer and you have a great, new way to manage your News Articles content. Here are the details regarding how to log in, and here's a recap of the bare minimum you need to get started:
- User: cheddar
- Password: extrasharp
- Remote Posting URL: http://metapost.itcrossing.com/metapost.ashx?key=news articles.
Have fun and please keep it clean!
