I have a wordpress blog, and the greatest thing ever is e-mail posting. If you go to the dashboard and go to settings and options, you can check which blogs you want to send posts to via e-mail. Wordpress generates a special email address to which you send your posts. The subject line is the post title, and anywhere within the body of the post, you can place various things, like tags or categories, in brackets. You then send the e-mail, and voila, it is on your blog. Then you can go in and edit if needed. I have found this a real headache saver for posting. On days when I was feeling lazy, I sometimes would not bother, despite feeling like I wanted to post, because of the hassle of the editor and such. But since I started posting via e-mail, I love Wordpress. If you have an iPhone, the wordpress blog app is quite accessible -- I do not post from there, but I have successfully edited posts when I found a spelling error, missing word, etc. HTH.
