Every once in a while something comes along that just works. Like Windows Live Writer.

Released just this month this is a tool that lets you:

• connect to all your web logs no matter what  engine they are using
• edit posts off-line and save them as drafts
• open a post from one blog and post it to another
• easily insert pictures, tables, tags, video, etc., etc.

I found out about this from a friend of mine, Greg O (who is a real web developer unlike me) when I asked him if he knew of anything that would let me take a post from one blog and move it to another.

"You mean like this...?" he said.

Yep, just like that Greg; thanks!

I wrote this post using Windows Live Writer and can see that using a browser will quickly become a thing of the past.
