This is a cool little tool for you bloggers out there:
Bleezer. It's a free, no frills blog editor that is cross platform and handles all the major APIs. For people who work on multiple platforms, the Java app is a godsend; it means one layout, one set of keyboard shortcuts, and that means higher productivity, in my book, anyway. That said, there are downsides. Java GUI means slow on many systems, especially Windows, and there are still utf8 bugs to be worked out, at least on Windows. That said, a unfied interface to all my projects is probably worth a couple of growing pains, especially since the price is right: free. Download it for Mac, Windows or Linux (and I don't see it shouldn't run on BSDs with lcompat) and decide for yourself.

Thanks for the tip-off. I've been duplicating a good few posts for a major charity project (http://www.theonemillionmasterpiece.com) which includes blogger. I haven't found any decent application that would work with blogger, but Bleezer does! Even better is that it adds technorati and del.icio.us tags - excellent!

Bleezer may not be the fastest or coolest-looking blogging tool, but it is a great app from the functionality standpoint. It's still worth checking out Qumana and Performancing (and please ignore Live Writer), but this little app is java so it runs the same everywhere (except my old Palm PDA. Hint ... it would be nice if the Bleezer people are listening).

Oh, and here's a decent, but slightly old, review of blog editting software: http://lifehacker.com/software/blogging/desktop-blog-editor-comparison-190652.php
