As you might have seen, Microsoft just released the 3rd beta of Live Writer, and I'm pleased to announce that it's 100% compatible with umbraco v3. A part from being gentle to blogging, Live Writer let's you create and edit pages in umbraco using the neat new "Content Channel" concept in v3.
So instead of using a web based interface, you can use a nice Windows application which also makes it possible to edit pages offline and even do spell checking. It also supports embedding images which are uploaded to the umbraco media library, like this screenshot:
Highly recommended and did I mention that it's a free download?
