Blogging is now a huge trend among personal usage. It serves as our own domain to express our own views or just make it our own digital diary. Microsoft is quite aware of this, thus the creation of, for me the ultimate blog editor, Microsoft Live Writer. I know blog editting has been a pain in the ass for some of us bloggers. This is because of the poor word-editting that these blog sites has been offering us. But now, this problem is history. Microsoft Live Writer is a one of the many upcomming products from Windows Live. It's main purpose is to provide bloggers of an excellent blogging tool. Here's screen shot: As you can see the environment is just like Microsoft Word. You have the basic tools, you can insert pictures, tables and links. But the best part of this is that the environment that you are typing into is being mimicked by Live Writer. So that it looks like a preview of your blog before you publish it. And speaking of publishing, this tool automatically publishes your document to your blog! I know that some of you might think that this product only supports Live Spaces coz its a Microsoft product, hell no! It supports a wide range of blog providers. Here's a complete list (the list might grow since this is still in its beta stage):

1. Live Spaces (Obviously)
2. Wordpress
3. Wordpress (Custom Installation)
4. Type Pad
5. Blogger
6. Live Journal
7. Movable Type
8. Radio Userland
9. Community Server
10. dasBlog
11. Metaweblog API
12. Movable Type API

So, if your blog's on the list, grab Live Writer now! Its Free! Just a note, its still on its Beta Stage. But if you can't wait for the release you can download it here. By the way, I'm writting this entry using Live Writer.
