I've been really busy lately, but after seeing a couple hundred posts on Windows Live Writer, I had to try it out.

It's nice and easy to install, and natively supports "dasBlog" - not specific about which version though. I'm running 1.8.5223, which is the latest release from what I can tell. And while WLW picks up the theme, and lets me do all kinds of neat stuff with images and maps, unfortunately, it throws an error when I publish...

This is not exactly useful, but it appears to be an issue with the Blogger API - either who WLW is trying to use it, or how WLW is calling it. The net result is that I can't use it. Oh well, I've been surviving using w.bloggar and the on-line editor.

Apparently it also supports Community Server, so when I find some time, maybe I'll see if it works for ArcDeveloper.net.
