>Thanks Rick,
>I have been using live writer and if it is the best one then nothing to do:( Looks like I can't find the correct plug-in. I tried few of them and none is satisfactory (C# code). I think I have to live with that or build my own.

What are you trying to do? Post Fox code? That's not goign to work with any existing plug-ins. However, there are plenty of tools that allow pasting from Visual Studio.

I wrote my own a while back and I added support for pasting from FoxPro to that as well, but it got broken in one of the live writer updates and I didn't have time to fix it up.

Just so you know it's a big pain in the but to deal with VFP's RTF format, so no easy answers there unless you create a pop up box to paste text into which formats it manually.

>>The best tool that I know of is Live Writer from Microsoft. It can post to common blog implementation plus MetaWeblog API which means you can hook up custom interface to your own blog (as I did). Live Writer automatically handles things like image embedding and uploading etc.

>>Live Writer supports plug-ins and there are many available including paste source code plug-ins. Unfortunately most don't work with VFP because VFP's weird RTF clipboard format. But you can post from Visual Studio and Word documents.

>>In the past I've also used Word and then pasted the output from that into whatever blog engine. It creates horrendous HTML but it works fairly well even cross browser. The big drawback to this is that you have to manually manage images which is a pain in the ass and usually means you have to post the images first and then fix them up in the weblog editor.

>>>that contains code and easy to use? I would particularly love a writer that keeps formatting on copy&paste from a code window.
