I have to admit, I was skeptical as to what good Live Writer might do.  Why would you just not log in to your blog and add drafts in there?  Well I found out it is very nice to have a free rich text editor that I can save my drafts locally and then preview them on my blog before publishing them.  I am using DasBlog1.9 and Windows Live Writer connects to it right out of the box.  It took literally 10 seconds to connect to my blog.  Pretty cool stuff and it also supports most of the top blog engine out there like:  

You can also write plug-ins to it and can see some examples at the Windows Live Gallery - Writer .  And you can find more info on Windows Live Writer SDK at the live.com blog. 

Here is a picture of Live Writer using Live Writer to add it.  Nice.

Here is a map of where I live, well close to where I live.  Wow, that was easy.  Very cool!

This is the first time I have used those features, and I must admit that would have taken much longer in the admin for any blog. 

And now I just downloaded an Event plug-in.  I don't have an event to add right now, but I will soon.  There aren't too many plug-ins available yet, but you know there will be a lot soon.

If you have a blog, try this out.  It has saved me some time and made blogging much more enjoyable.
