If you are wondering about the configuration of the PHP server you have, you can simply make a PHP file with following command :


<?php





phpinfo();





?>


and simply place the file in the localhost folder and browse it in an Internet Browser. You would simply have all the information you need. The result will be something like the picture down here(Take from Wiki)

Live Writer, a Multi weblog solution

You got several websites and you want to publish something with not much differences in all of them. Then Live Writer is the right tool for you. It lets you add different weblogs(from Wordpress, blogger, etc) and update them with couple of clicks. There are other solutions that can publish one post(exactly the same thing) on several weblogs, but they lack some WYSIWYG feature or they simply do not work with some of your weblogs(Wordpress in my case). I can recommend this MS tool for bloggers

Download Live Writer from here.
