I learnt of Windows Live Writer some time back and it seemed to be quite a useful little tool for blog writing. Unfortunately, upon installation, I found that I couldn’t connect to the Blogger API via my firewall and you can’t load the editor, even to draft, without the initial connection.
From my home network I initialised the connection to the Blogger API and now I can write blog posts from within Live Writer. The features seem perfectly adequate, quite slick overall and all the bells and whistles I could want. The main question though, is can I publish through the firewall? If I can, then when did the initialisation fail? And if I can’t then how do the other blog writing tools manage to post to Blogger without problems?

Rubbish! Ten million pieces of crappy blog authoring software and the only decent one uses a method of posting that doesn’t work through a corporate firewall. Oh well.
