Just thought I’d mention I’ve been using the above program for blogging for a while now, and I love it – it makes everything so much simpler. You can write, save and organise drafts offline, which is faster than working online in a web browser: speed and ease of use are of the essence if you have limited productive time. Theoretically you could do this in any word processing program, but in WLW you can preview exactly what it will look like in your blog before you post it. I appreciate this feature because I used to have constant formatting problems which drove me round the twist.
It’s compatible with most of the major blog platforms. If you run Windows on a PC, or on Boot Camp if you’re an Appler, it’s well worth a go. (Though if you're an Appler you'll hate it because it's Microsoft, so I don't know why I even said that. Sometimes my Operating System Agnosticism seeps out in public.)
There are plenty of WLW tutorials around the place, too.

I use MS Word when I draft my blog. It has blog publishing function for major blog site. Just like WLW, it makes blogging easier and less hassle.
Hi Rachel, that's very interesting to hear. I tried Word ages ago but it never worked for me - perhaps they've improved it!

Thanks so much for your thoughts. I try my best but I'm not always able to reply. In that instance, advance apologies, and an explanatory spiel here.
