Windows Live Writer, the tool I use to post to this website has been updated again. It's now in Beta 3. According to Microsoft this is the last beta before the final release of the program.
The most recently added features include inserting video into posts and XHTML markup. I don't need the XHTML markup features (yet) but the video inserts are really easy. You can add a YouTube video to a post by simply copying the URL to the clipboard and pasting it into the post editor, in the WYSIWIG mode.
That's a lot nicer than having to switch to HTML mode to edit the HTML directly. One thing that I think would be handy though is the ability to upload video to your blog in the same way you upload images.
The cool thing is, you can write and add your own plugins for Windows Live Writer. That's a feature that's been around for a while. I may just have to write my own plugin to upload video to my site and manage the embed.
