Automattic, the developers behind WordPress.com and WordPress.org , today announced the launch of the plugin liveblog allowing live blogging and post updates from front end.
The unique feature of this plugin is that it supports drag and drop images. It also allows to transform any item, even those that have been published in the traditional way.
WordPress Liveblog is very good plugin for those who post live events on their site, With Liveblog there is no need for external services, nor you need to republish an article or update an already published on the same event which you are covering.
Key Features of WordPress Liveblog Plugin :
- Post updates right from the front-end of your site (no need to use the

- Your authors can drag-and-drop photos right into the Liveblog area, without needing to navigate to separate browser tabs or windows.
