Windows Live Writer
I’ve been using Windows Live Writer for posts for my blog and I love it! Live Writer is a desktop application that makes it easier to compose blog posts to post them directly to your blog. Create a post and save it as a draft, add pictures to your post, insert Technorati tags as well as others. I can open my blog and edits posts that are already published. It’s a very user-friendly interface and you can add a variety of plug-ins.
Below are some examples of the plug-ins I’ve added are:
Insert Polaroid Picture
Here is a picture using the basic Insert Picture feature:

I like the look of the Polaroid better even though it isn’t a true polaroid look.
I also added an Insert Word Count plug-in. There wasn’t an option in the tools menu and the plug-in requires you to hi-light the text first but it’s still convenient for those posts you need to have a word count.
I just added the Flickr plug-in tonight and haven’t had a chance to use it as of yet, I’ll keep you updated on that. I wholeheartedly recommend Windows Live Writer to anyone who blogs, whether you have one or a whole bunch. The best part is it’s free!

Windows Live Writer…
Never thought of using this program myself but after reading the review I’m tempted to try it out. Great review of Windows Live Writer….

Hi, I’ve been using WindowsLiveWriter for nearly a year; I started out last year with something else that wasn’t anywhere near as flexible as WindowsLiveWriter. It’s a proud No. 2 on Mudge’s Blogging Process Hall of Fame: http://mudge.essoenn.com/2007/09/10/mm135-process-again/
Thanks, I like your blog! –mudge
