Windows Live Writer

Just trying out Windows Live Writer... a slightly easier way to publish blog posts.  As it is a downloaded piece of software, adding images, videos etc is a lot quicker than having to wait for them to upload before publishing.  Another nice advantage is that it can download any customised styles/templates you have set up on your blog, so you get a "live preview" - you're writing as it will appear on the blog.

Free and compatible with most blog services, might be worth a look...

  3. Hello Richard, thought it might be off interest to your group to note that as from Word 2007 (not sure about 2003) you can post directly to a blog from Word. Just it all add pictures etc then file - publish - to blog!! Presto
