Not a tool as such, but I recommend openDNS for all your DNS needs (faster than most ISP lookups, scam/phishing filters, automatic spell correction (e.g. if you type .cmo it fixes to .com). Also adult content filter and domain blocking. Nothing to install just redirect your router to their DNS servers. By the way, they didn't pay me to say all this (I wish!) I just think it's a great alternative to the native DNS offered by most users' ISP. db

I liked Live Writer, but found BlogDesk to be a much handier, faster (if slightly less-featured) Blog editor.

Anyone who writes a blog (especially anyone writing more than one blog) should use an editor; the only question is which.

Beta versions of most software programs make many of us just a little edgy, particularly when we’re seduced by getting something for free. Free often is just too high a price for messing around with your computer and the thrill of being first on the block. But if you’re tired of composing and editing a blog in Word or WordPerfect, Outlook, BlogJet or the little Compose Post box in your blog, the desktop application Live Writer may be exactly what you need.
Unveiled last September as Windows Live Writer 1.0 in Beta, Microsoft followed up just a few weeks ago with Beta 2. Both are free and downloadable at http://writer.live.com/. And while almost every application has some errant feature, this one is practically kink-free.
Publishing to Windows Live Spaces, WordPress, Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad and other weblog service providers, Live Writer senses the themes used by a blog, allowing the user to write and post to blog, getting it right the first time without multiple previews and tweaking. Insert photos, maps, tags and other content beyond mere words is as easy as attaching the same to an e-mail, and publishing them to a blog just as easy. Want to add a hyperlink? It’s as easy as placing the cursor over selected text and hitting “Insert hyperlink.” Spellcheck, tables, categories, tagging, and keyboard shortcuts are all part of this blogging tool. Adding effects, borders, margins, and even resizing, wrapping text and altering contrast are made even easier than ever.
Plug-ins from the Windows Live Gallery, http://gallery.live.com/default.aspx?l=8, add even more extensions such as “blog this” for Internet Explorer and Firefox and screen capture tools. Questions are asked and answered over at Writer Zone, the blog (http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/). The learning curve for this tool is takes all of two minutes. Bashing Microsoft may be the national sport, but Microsoft got it right with this release of Live Writer.

Thanks for this information – I’ve been using Live Writer for yonks and love it. One really useful feature is that it automatically picks up your design and enables you to upload to different blogs really easily. I’m a huge fan, especially as you can also use the Blog It feature from any site/page on which you wish to comment. Easy for pictures, links, trackbacks too.

Nice list - I'd recommend Journler as a Mac tool for writing your blog posts offline. You could add another section on getting your site aggregated, with places like 9rules, Technorati and Digg.
