Microsoft has released a free version of a tool that allows for easy posting to blogs. I'm writing from it now, let's see if it works.
Update: it works great! It has a lot of the features Word has: you can format text and paragraphs, spell check, insert hyperlinks, pictures, tables, maps, videos, etc... It downloads your blog's style so you can preview your entry with the CSS applied to it - so it looks exactly the way it will look once you publish it to the blog.
It also supports many types of blogs, and specifically in this case it worked like a charm with the Movable Type XML-RPC API. Microsoft Live Writer rocks - get it at http://get.live.com/betas/writer_betas; also checkout the additonal plug-ins for Windows Live Writer
I upgraded my Blog software to Movable Type 3.35. This allowed me to use the Recaptcha plugin to stop comment spam.
This is a test of the comment system - let's see if it works.
