Rapid Blogging Using Windows Live Writer and AutoHotkey
While I’m talking about AutoHotkey here is the script I use for launching Windows Live Writer. It is executed by pressing Windows Key+B and it switches to Windows Live Writer (or launches it if it isn’t running), starts a new post by sending the Ctrl+N shortcut, and move the cursor into the title field by sending Shift+Tab.
; Open Windows Live Writer

LiveWriterTitle = Windows Live Writer
