This is getting too easy. It's been about a year since I seriously investigated client-side blogging tools. At the time they were quite lame. I have been meaning to set some time aside to test Performancing for FireFox but haven't gotten around to it.  With all of the publicity around Windows Live Writer I decided to go take another look at these types of tools.

This is my first post using Windows Live Writer. I guess I won't have an excuse for not posting anymore. My first ten minutes in this tool has been pretty good. I probably spent more time installing the beta software (I took the bait and also loaded the Windows Live Toolbar, the Onfolio RSS reader looks interesting, btw) than it took to configure the software.

My server software is Drupal 4.6 and Live Writer seems to work well with it. I understand there are some problems with Live Writer creating temporary posts to support "Web Preview".

Nevertheless, this is impressive.
