Micosoft Blogging tool

Windows Live Writer is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) blog authoring tool. It's designed to work with Windows Spaces, but will work with other services such as Blogger, Wordpress etc.

It supports standard text as well as photos and integrating maps. There's a full SDK (software development kit) so it can be extended too.

This is all part of Microsoft's Live environment where they are trying to make a dent into an already crowded market, but it does seem they are coming out with useful tools.
