I've been using Windows Live Writer to post this blog for a few weeks now.  I have to say, I'm very impressed.  I only have one issue.  For some strange reason, it has stopped working from behind the company firewall.  It used to work.  I don't think I made any configuration changes.  Oh well, I'll just be resigned to post from home (unless someone from the team takes pity on me and helps me fix the settings)
