The image originally was correctly configured (http://). It shouldn’t be a typo because I cut and pasted.

I’ll see if I can duplicate this later.
see http://cerebraloddjobs.edublogs.org/2007/07/17/regional-calendar-test-of-live-writer/

To prove my point, see that the post has always been available at this URL, which directly points to the post ID.

Some people find this confusing intially (and it tends to be the more technical people), but once you’re actually *using* Writer rather than just testing, you’ll probably find that our behavior (modifying the existing post whenever possible) is almost always the one you want.

If you look at the HREF of your tag, you’ll see that it begins with “//”, not “http://”. That’s definitely not a Writer bug–is it a typo in the comment, or is that actually the way the original post looked?

Yikes!! It does delete the other post. The original should be http://cerebraloddjobs.edublogs.org/2006/01/11/online-planning-calendar/ Zoundry lets you know if the post is to be replaced or added as new. I definitely have to update the blog client tests, especially to outline which clients retrieve posts, replace posts, save (download) posts, etc.

Live Writer adds code which is stripped by WordPress and with it the image.

Let me find the screenshots and I’ll post them on the calendar test

For the regional calendar post, are you saying the original post contained a properly working image, but when loaded into Writer, the image was broken? Or did it look fine in Writer, and only looked broken once it showed up on your blog?

if you don’t tick the “set publish date” it will replace the original post with your edited version.

However, it did something odd to my image coding, which was stripped by WordPress including the image. The only thing left was the image alt title.

Live Writer downloads the previous posts and drafts but only on-line (it seems to download each time I tell it to “open post”)

Editing or managing of previous posts must be done on-line, unlike Zoundry

Actually previous posts are available in the Open Post dialog. For posts that Writer has not “seen” yet, click on your weblog name on the left side of that dialog.

Hope that helps…
