The Search For a Good Desktop Blog Editor
Now that I have decided to start blogging regularly, I’ve been looking for a good blogging editor. I’ve tried some of the post editors that go into the Gnome and KDE panels. They are nice for quick posts, but I am looking for something more full featured.
As far as full featured blogging editors go, so far I’ve only tried ones that work in Windows. Even though I love Linux, I still spend most of my time in Windows. So far, I’ve tried: Ecto, W.Bloggar and Qumana.
Between Ecto and W.Bloggar, I think I liked Ecto the best. It had a very intuitive interface and I found it easy to use. Since I’m a cheap bastard 
I decided to keep looking for something free.
W.Bloggar seemed full featured; however, I really hated the interface. I’m sure once I used it for a while, it would be great. Unfortunately, I’m not that patient.
Lastly, I found Qumana. It’s a free editor that also has integrated support for their QAds. The interface is actually very nice and pretty intuitive. I think I’lll stick with Qumana for now.

Let me know when you find:
1) something that works in linux.
2) something that manages graphics (insertion and positioning) easily
3) something that will produce good HTML code (and let me at the code when necessary); and
4) I don’t care how automatic the upload is. I simply want an editor that makes a document that can be cut and pasted directly into a wordpress HTML editor window without a lot of extra crap or bad code going along with it!
