Windows Live Writer has been released to the public in beta form.  This new program from Microsoft will let you blog directly to Spaces (or any other major blogging site).  I find this nice for being able to post blogs very quickly, even if I'm offline.

Additionally, it makes formatting a bit easier.  Click the link in the name above to download a copy.  It still needs some work, for sure, but it's got most of the basics in place.  Thankfully, it's also somewhat open-source.  The SDK can be had from the same site for developing plug-ins and such.  I'm anxious to see what kind of plug-ins will be developed.
