I downloaded the beta of Windows Live Writer and am writing this very short post to test it.
I’ve included a photo of my daughter with our dog, to see how well it uploads images as well as text. So far, this looks great as an offline blog editor for my WordPress blog.
Neville, thanks very much for recommending this on your blog. (Yes, I’m testing the link.)

Update: The only hitch I had was in setting the FTP to upload the image. I had given this particular FTP “user” a setting of “contributor.” The image couldn’t upload until I changed that setting to “administrator.” Small change, I suppose, although I didn’t want to give Microsoft administrator rights to my WordPress blog.

Looks like it all worked successfully Tom!
