    I post to blogger, which doesn't have captions in their online editor.  I decided to use WLW in the hopes that I can enter captions beneath my pix that I upload.  The best I was able to do was add a watermark.  Any ideas or suggestions ?

    simarc,

    I create a table with 1 col, 2 rows.

    I put the picture in the top row, the text for the caption in the bottom row.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.  It helps.  Do you know why the software doesn't have a more automated way of doing it considering all the fantastic bells and whistles that it has ?  I mean it has the ability to rotate and tilt photos, but no ability to do captions ?

    Not sure.  Perhaps it's because this doesn't take as much effort as rotating / tilting photos.

    Who knows, maybe someone will create a plugin in the near future.

    As a suggestion, I’d create a template; how you want the table to be, copy the HTML and use plug-in to insert the code anytime you want.


    You can use a nice little tool called Dynamic Templates.

    Website:

    You can do other things too; it's quite configurable to various things Windows Live Writer doesn't do by default.

    I use this to INDENT text:
    <p style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in"><br /><%= _selection %></p>

    Hope this helps.

    Wow.  I'm surprised no one mentioned the Polaroid Picture plugin.  It's awesome.  It lets you add captions to photos in the area where the white space is on a real Polaroid One-Step picture.  You can also rotate it and what not. 

    Go to "Add a plug-in" in Writer and you should see it pop up close to the top of the list.
