One of the biggest headaches for a new blogger is figuring out how to be productive without sitting in a chair more than eight hours a day. The most popular blogging platforms, including Blogger and Wordpress, use a control panel that includes a WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) editor, but it’s slow, and hard to work with. A much better alternative is to use Desktop Blogging Client software. These are programs you install on your desktop/home/office computer and blog remotely. You prepare the post with your software, then submit it to the blog from your desktop to the remote server.

The Nerd has prepared a list of the top 20 Desktop Blog Client software here. The Nerd’s two free favorites are Post2Blog, which is great, but is no longer developed or supported, and Windows Live Writer, which makes use of some great plugins to extend its functionality. Special mention goes to Microsoft Word 2007, which did not make the list, but is still a great Desktop Blog editor alternative. Click here to read more about using Word 2007 to blog.
