Earlier in the year I wrote the list asking if others had found good blog editors. Several had helpful suggestions, although the bottom line was that most editing was pretty much based on text editors that helped the user create hard coded html. Windows Live Writer wasn't a good option because of compatibility issues.
Recently, I've started using Word 2010 as a blog editor. If you use standard Word styles, normal text, headings, and numbered and bulleted list, they flow through nicely to the blog post on the blogging platform, at least they do for me using WordPress. The same is true for hyperlinks. If you create them using the built in Word feature on the Insert tab, they too are presented properly in the blog entry. To create a blog entry, go to the File tab. Select New, then Blog post. You'll then have the option to register your blog account. To do this, select the provider from the dropdown menu. Enter the blog URL, User Name, and Password. The blog url may be tricky. Check with your blog host. Also, check instructions at this link: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/microsoft/blog-with-microsoft-word-2010/ I hope this helps others. I did a lot of searching, only to be a little surprised to find Word 2010 to be such a good option.
