The hunt for the best WordPress blog client continues! An update to this post:
Dan from idano commented on his more recent blog client solutions in the comments for this entry:

Since I wrote that post that you linked to I discovered Windows Live Writer which is the best blog client I have found. Notable features are:
- It downloads your blog’s design so it looks like you are editing your post in real time
- Allow you to drag-and-drop images, resize them (with resampling), and will upload and link to the original image.
- Allows you to edit pages in WordPressThere is more but those are the ones that converted me from Zoundry. I like it so much that I use Parallels on my Macbook to run Windows just so I can use it (Nobody has made anything near as good for Macs).
Windows Live Writer can be downloaded here – http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/
Anyway, thanks for stopping by my blog. – Dan
Original Post:
I think the two key links to find the client that will work for you and WordPress at this time are… idano (nice blog btw!) and the WordPress list itself, which at least gives you a few to try out. I’m surprised there isn’t a poll around, easily found, that compares all weblogging clients compatible with WordPress, but hey, that just means there’s still room on the net for more answers…
Speaking of answers, what do you think is the best blog client for WordPress?
I can’t wait to get a client up and running. The WP online interface seems slower every day…. Then again, I am getting a new-to-me computer in a few days. Maybe that will speed things up. But I think a client is the way to go. One shouldn’t be distracted with slow server-side things when writing…its……distracting!

Dan, thanks for the update! I’m checking out livewriter now, and I’ll post a comparison with BlogJet 2.0.10 soon. The thing I like most about using a client is avoiding the long pageloading times in WP.com. The bells and whistles are an added bonus that makes blogging a lot easier. I can’t believe I made 30 posts without a client. Its that much easier.
