Testing yet another Blogging tool VisualBlogger - like BlogJet you type into a design window - no HTML. So far so good.
Issues:
- It's not been tested on Large DPI screen - I use 125 Dpi to reduce eye strain.
- No way to start a list inside a paragraph and avoid a blank line before the start of the list.
- The blog configuration dialog is confusing. It appears that you're required to click the new button before you started adding details. On my first try I added all my details, only to discover save wasn't enabled.
- When you use the combo box in the configuartion dialog it doesn't automatically bring up your settings. You have to click another button to get hem to display.
- Line wrapping isn't turned on in the text editor - this is annoying. If you have several sentences that should appear in side one pargraph tag, then you must use the html view. Further, it is sort of enabled - it just wraps at the wrong place - probably related to the DPI problem.
- I can't figure out how to enable the spell checking.
- List items aren't getting close tags
- Once I'd saved my blog configuration, I couldn't make it the default via the configuration dialog.
Only a day after its announced and already I've seen over 50 postings about Burton. This is clearly not something that needs my help getting attention. As good as it sounds though I've a few questions
- What will it cost? for the full system? Only the source code control system? the performance analysis tools?
- Will any parts of it be available on MSDN? If they are will it be legal to use them for day to day development work?
- Will FxCop's inclusion in Burton mean that its no longer available for free?
