I've tried a few blogging thick clients and I've been a little disappointed with them. I'm testing out ecto now. It's 15 or 20 bucks, but so far it seems to be a better product than the others I've played with. Anyhow, for those that are interested: http://ecto.kung-foo.tv/ Basically, it allows you to edit and create posts on your desktop rather than using the web client. Works with WP, MT, and a few others.
