I'm posting this from Qumana, a standalone blogging application. It allows you to compose blog entries offline - in an almost WYSIWYG environment - and then publish the new entry to your blog with one click. It's quite nice and it's free. From what I've read, it has features that even commercial blogging applications don't have.

"If a site has special CSS classes available … you'll have to add them manually"

As far as I can tell, none of the available blogging tools handle tags properly, so you still have to log in after posting and add them manually. And I believe if you update a post in Drupal with a blogging tool, your existing tags on that entry are lost and need to be re-entered, at least with awTags, the tagging system we use here on the Syrinx site. Also, if a site has special CSS classes available for anything but images (such as the pull quote on the right), you'll have to add them manually, at least with Qumana.

For the vast majority of blog posting Qumana makes the job extremely easy. If they added the ability to specify CSS classes for any HTML tag, it'd be even better!
