So, I want to be more proactive in keeping my blog up to date.  Something that I've been meaning to do for some time now.  The problem is, at least for me.. Blogging is somewhat cumbersome.  Ya see, I like using Windows Live Writer to edit and publish my blog.  I find it easy to use, and the plug-ins available to it for various things (I use Code Snippit and Znagit (a snag-it wrapper)).

The problem is... I can only use WLW on my home computer and my laptop.  Ya see, my primary workstation is a Dell Precision (duel Xeon procs).  I have a total of 8 gigs of ram, and in order to use all that precious ram, I'm running Windows XP x64. 

WLW doesn't support XP x64.

So, because I don't have a convenient way to work up a blog post while I'm sitting down at my primary workstation, blog posts don't happen.

Recently, I've had to spin up a 32bit XP environment using Virtual PC for another project that we've got going on.. so it hit me, run WLW inside the VM.  And that's where we're at today.  Though, the odd thing is, I'm using SubText for my blogging platform (When I started BlogEngine.Net was just an idea) and with WLW inside the VM, I'm unable to pull down my blog theme like I can with it on my laptop or home machine.

*sigh*

So tell me, what kind of acrobatics and hoop jumping do you have to go through to get things done?
