Windows Live Writer (Beta)

A fantastic piece of software in Beta that is an excellent way to manage your blog (or blogs) from your desktop. The WordPress crew did a great job when they redid the admin side (2.0+) and they added a rich-text editor, but it still has some quirks that just bug me. Yes, I’m soaking in it, er, I mean I’m using it to post here. And I really like it – I’ve always felt uncomfortable using a browser-based admin interface for a really long post. I’m always scared that it will hiccup and all of my work will be lost (after a particularly rage-inducing incident years ago). Windows Live Writer seems to me to be a spiritual successor to w.Bloggar, with obvious improvements. And that’s a good thing since the w.Bloggar project seems to be MIA. Add in the fact that this sucker has a spell-checker, and I’m sold. I hope they make it cheap enough that I can afford to pick up a copy when its released, because, unfortunately, I’m hooked.
