I love Windows live writer, apart from working in offline mode i found the most vibrant feature is inserting video,it is very very fast, also we can add technorati tags though there are lots of wordpress plugins also available for that one, also we can install some great plugins for WLW like Zemanta,Snagit to make our blogging much easier, older tag suggestion is also a nice feature, overall i love WLW and i cant imagine any blog posting without it. Full point to you Harsh for writing on this topic.

All you do is download, install the program, login, write a blog entry, click publish. The program automatically logs in and posts your blog entry.
The best thing I like is It Uploads the Images Automatically..
Plus there are so many features for seoetc.

I go with you on this. Once I started using WLW I never looked back to default dashboard to write post.
Great tool harsh.I tried it once.Actually i was used to post from my mobile so i couldn’t take full advantage of it.
One such great software to post from mobile is ‘trutap’.It is lightning fast with some great features.The only problem is the word limit but it is still handy tool compared to email blogging.
Thanks Ricky and I’m sure you must have enjoyed using WLW.
never heard of truetap. will give it a try.
I am not very fond of Live Writer. Instead I would recommend ScribeFire, This is an add on to Firefox. I wonder if you could compare the two and let is know your opinion.
I remember you told me about this tool but i found it boring as m bit lazy
I still use word press Dashboard and write from there only..
