I'm going to use Live Writer for this project. It's a great piece of software, even if it lacks the cloud. I'm using Live Sync (another great tool I just found from Microsoft) to sync the folders between computers. This way if I start editing a post at work, I can finish it when I get home and vice versa.
One of the things that pushed me over the edge was how well it took a copy and paste from Microsoft Word. Basically I am going to be editing and posting a bunch of guest blog posts from various people. The post are not from typical "bloggers". Most of them don't even know what Wordpress or Blogger is. They are sending me posts in Word documents with photos embedded in them. Normally a nightmare that would involve me have to cut text out, scrub formatting, ask them to resend the picture as an attachment, on and on.
With Live Writer, I can actually copy the entire document (including the picture) and paste it directly into Live Writer - and it just works. I can then manipulate the picture and wrap text if need be. So for this project it's a life saver.
Hopefully Google will get something out soon that is connected with Google Docs. Until then, Live Writer it is. Like I've said before, I'm not normally a fan of "syncing" and prefer it just all live in the cloud - but at least for this project, I'm going to give it a ride.
