Recommended Live Writer Addons for Techie Bloggers

Question
-
Hi
I guess this a question/ discussion for the community. I want to use Live Writer to write a series of blog articles whereby I would: take code snippets (from visual Studio), add screen dumps, videos, bitmaps, and generally try to add as many visual clues as possible. I just wondered if anyone could recommend any of the many addons that are available...
cheers

This is an OLD forum for Windows Live Writer; Microsoft will be shutting it down soon [to be read only]... But there's a NEW forum, with more activity and more Microsoft techs working it. I suggest you go there and resubmit your inquiry there...
