Windows Live Writer

This is just me typing in Windows Live Writer, which is probably the best offline blogging software I have used (I use MarsEdit for Mac which I do really like, and ecto isn’t bad either). Its ability to give you a rich text editor, easy to reach "insert" buttons, a live web preview that shows you what it would actually look like when you publish, and even the fact that it automatically styles the editor to be the size and shape of your blog so you know how things will layout as you type - all pretty impressive. So, I can use it through my VMWare Fusion - Windows Vista installation on my MacBook Pro. But that is probably one of the most embarrassing sentences I will ever write.

The only consolation I have is that all the Windows people that read my blog probably haven’t even heard of Windows Live Writer, let alone have they used it - so I still retain high chief nerd status.
