The last three posts have been done sitting in bed with the laptop hooked up to the net via 802.11b, using W.Bloggar on Win2K. It's a very nice setup, although it's not helping me with the midnight deadline.
W.Bloggar is a way cool client, much improved since the last time that I checked it out about 6 months ago. You can cut and paste text into the app and do reasonable HTML formatting. If you want to do your blogging in a desktop application, a la Radio, it makes a great client. And, unlike browser based clients like Radio, you don't run the risk of losing all your work every time you click on a link.You can even click the save icon as you go, if you are the paranoid type after having been burned too many times by Radio's bugs. (But I'm not bitter, am I?)
The only downsides I have found so far are the spell checker, which is functional but pretty limited, and the fact that it requires IE. In conjunction with Movable Type, W.Bloggar makes a great blogging system. Plus it is free, although donations accepted. Highly recommended.
