When Windows Live Writer first came out I had the idea that I should do an extension for Firefox that would allow you to easily blog the page you are on. Similar to the one I built for BlogJet. The problem is that instead of command line switches like BlogJet you have to use a COM interface. I couldn’t find an easy way to call the interface directly from Firefox without writing some XPCOM, which I was about to try. But thankfully Can Erten beat me to it and came up with a different solution. The Live WriterFox extension does exactly what I need it to, and instead of using XPCOM he simply wrote a command-line exe that is packaged with the extension to call the COM interface. Brilliant!
I am still trying out Windows Live Writer as well as the Performancing extension for Firefox as alternatives to BlogJet. Performancing seems to offer some cool added features like blog stats and notes, but I think I will stick with BlogJet for now.

Holy crap! Your head shrunk!!!!
I haven’t looked at blogjet before, i like the idea behind performancing’s extension especially since it is like a community effort (the code will always get updated i’m sure with new requests etc.).
