Live Writer is a great tool to create, edit the blog post. Once you will start using it you will never go to blogger or wordpress website and type blog post. It works with most of the blog service like Windows Live, Wordpress, Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad etc. Why I love Windows Live Writer: The thing that I like most is the easiness of inserting images or video.
