So I decided to bite the bullet and install WLW (site, install link) to be able to create content-rich posts for my blog. Setup was a snap. It must have taken me a total of 10 minutes (or less) to go from downloading and installing WLW, getting it to recognize my blog, configuring FTP options and picture upload location to creating my first post. Good stuff! I don't think I'm about to go back to the BlogEngine.NET based rich text editor anytime soon.

The current version, circa June 2008, is Windows Live Writer 2008 (version 12.0.1366.1026).
