Live Writer is my preferred blog authoring tool. Posts may be done quickly and arranged so that they are placed on multiple sites. Yet, getting vBulletin and Live Writer to work together has not been possible until I found the <a href="http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=134521">WordPress-vBulletin Bridge</a> modification on vBulletin.org. The modification allows any post to WordPress to be copied to the correct forum. Comments are also linked to the forum.
Installation was very easy. The bridge file was uploaded, configurations were completed per readme instructions, and synchronization was started. All new posts are now synchronized between WordPress and vBulletin.
My next task is to get WordPress to work properly on a Windows server and change <a href="http://www.chemhints.com">ChemHints</a> from Community Server to WordPress.
<strong>Update</strong>: Posting to the forum did not work. Apparently Live Writer does not trigger the synchronization. I also forgot to enable HTML in the forum. Oops.
