I can see from the reader you’re really digging this in realtime

I dont use Live Writer (did download, never installed) but think I might give it a second chance.

Also going to have to learn about microformats.

One question – ‘right-click the Live Clipboard Icon’ are you using IE?

Conor

I did the test in IE7 but any previous tests I did with Live Clipboard worked in FF too. I’ll check now.

Yup, works in Firefox too. One thing I noticed in the past is that you have to be very accurate with mouse placement for the javascript to work so that it includes “copy, cut and paste” in the right-click menu.

Hmmm, I can’t seem to get this working with either IE7 or FF. I’m after installing a fresh new version of Live Writer and successfully posted to my blog.

So, I right click copy on the Scissors but when I go ‘Paste’ in Live Writer nothing happens. And I’m using the Divine Comedy example you refer to Conor. Any ideas?

Conor

Hmm, did you install the Event plug-in? I think it enables that functionality. I didn’t make that clear at all.

James Corbett

No, you made it clear in the previous post Conor but I was too dopey at that time last night to cop it!

I’ve now installed the plug-in and successfully used Live Clipboard for the first time ever. When you see it in action you realize what a monumental step forward this is for the web

Conor

Such a simple idea that has enormous potential and they are making it open to everyone.

The ability to move structured data from site to site or site to desktop application using a clipboard model that every computer user understands really could have profound implications, particularly in the area of moving and controlling “my data”.

Hi Conor,

Round-trip should already work!

Conor

I’ve been using Pingerati already and I hadn’t realised Eventful were doing that with my event entries. I yearned for this back in February on my personal blog. Awesome!
