Is it time for a new blog editor?

For many, many months I have used Performancing for Firefox as my default blog editor on my laptop.  I was a big fan of Performancing and the blogging community they established.  I used the Performancing metrics as well.  Then the leadership there fell apart and they discontinued the metrics.  Then the blog editor was bought by Scribefire and I have used the new updated version.  There really was not much new in the updated version, other then branding.  However, the same things that attracted me to the program in the first place kept me using it.

The idea of writing right in a split screen in Firefox, right below the articles I was linking to was appealing. I liked the ease of use. However, inserting graphics and adding categories was a problem.  So when I read Don Dodge's article today on the new release of Windows Live Writer, I thought I would give it a try.  I am writing this post in it now. 

I had tried Live Writer before and went back to Performancing. Not sure if this will last.  I also like using my Typepad mobile editor as well.  Anyway, I love to try new tools and wanted to see how it worked.  Let me use it a few weeks and get back to you.
