This post is being written in the latest new fandangled thing from the Microsoft “Windows Live” people - who look like they’re doing some pretty cool stuff. “Windows Live Writer” - which can be found here, is a WYSIWYG blog editor.
At this stage I must admit it does look pretty darn clever. It’ll suck down the styles from your blog and make it look exactly like it will end up in your post. Pretty smart. I’d say I’ll keep playing around with it - at this stage it’s only a beta and there will no doubt be some issues. I’ll have to give it a whirl on the train this evening too - see how it performs in an “offline” environment. If we even manage to make it work with “Ultimate Tag Warrior” (which I just plugged into the wordpress install), we might even use this regularly.
Pretty funky tool at any rate.

Hi,
Seems like a pretty handy tool. I have been checking out offline blogging tools like Blogjet, Qumana and Blogdesk (which I have been using), because I desperately needed a spell checker! This looks the best of the lot so far and is free for the moment, and it is defintely the prettiest. Thanks for the heads up.
Nice blog, btw. I heard about it from Tim and have been checking regularly since. Keep it up
Dave
