I would like to recommend you for Windows Live Writer - a free application from Microsoft that you can use for writing your blog posts and publishing them to WordPress, Windows Live Spaces, SharePoint, and many other blogging platforms.

Features -

WYSIWYG Authoring -

With Windows Live Writer, you can author your post and know exactly what it will look like before you publish it. Writer allow adding the styles of your blog such as headings, fonts, colors, background images, paragraph spacing, margins and block quotes and enables you to edit your post using these styles.
Writer also includes other views including HTML source-code editing and web preview mode.

Offline drafting -

Instead of writing in Notepad or Microsoft Word and then pasting the text into WordPress and fixing up all of the formatting that gets destroyed in the process while composing WordPress posts offline, Windows Live Writer downloads your blog site’s style information and uses that as you compose your posts offline.

Inserting media -

It is very frustrating inserting videos from sites like Youtube with WordPress WYSIWIG editor. To insert the Youtube embedded video code you normally need to switch to the code view to paste it in.

Windows Live Writer has a neat video insertion tool that makes posting videos a breeze. Simply choose Insert -> Video and paste the URL of the video into the dialog box. It only needs the normal URL, not the full embed code for it to work. You can then insert, reposition, and even resize the video in your blog post without having to go into the code view at all.

Writer makes it easy to share your photos and videos on almost any blog service—Windows Live, Wordpress, Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad, and many more and lets you publish to almost all these blog services.

Instant Preview - With Writer, you can preview everything you’re adding to your blog, to see how the fonts, spacing, colors, and images will look, before you publish.

Photos - Make your photos look great on your blog, fast and easy. Insert them and apply cool borders and effects. You can even pull your photos together into an album, just select the style you want and Writer takes care of the rest. When you publish, Writer automatically saves your picture or album online and links them to your blog.

Videos - Writer can help you publish videos to Soapbox on MSN Video, or to YouTube, and embed them in your blog. It’s easy to align, resize, and caption your videos, so they look just the way you want them to.

Extra Plugins - There are all sorts of plug-ins you can add like insert your stuff from Facebook, Flickr, or other websites.

Map Publishing, Writer SDK are also some additional and impressive features os Windows Live Writer.

The Windows Live Writer SDK allows developers to extend the capabilities of Writer to publish additional content types. Examples of content types that can be added include:

• Images from online photo publishing sites
• Embedded video or audio players
• Product thumbnails and/or links from e-commerce sites
• Tags from tagging services

Maps are a great help in engaging the imagination when you are blogging about a vacation or a political conflict. You can do this using Writer's ability to insert a Windows Live Local map directly into a post.

• Windows Live Writer is much better at handling the switch between views. You can go back and forth as much as you like without destroying your formatting in the process.
  
  
• Managing multiple blogs - Windows Live Writer brings all of your blogging into one application, with an easy to use interface that suits all platforms, and makes it much easier to ensure you are writing for the site you actually want to.
