There are a lot of bloggers around who are always looking for a Windows Live Writer for Mac. Unfortunately thats not available for mac or Microsofts never going to do it, or else windows sale will get a hit.
So here’s a list of some of the blogging clients i found which might be able to replace Windows Live Writer
1.) Blogo – If you were looking for a Windows Live Writer for Mac, here it is. Perfect Desktop Blogging client for Probloggers, nearly has all the features which WIndows Live Writer has and the User Interface is way better than Live Writer. You can check it out here and download the free trial version here.

5.) Flock – Free to use browser which many might have used on Windows, and this is also known as the Social Browser. It also supports blog posting and editing so if your planning to go with flock, then you surely don’t need a Separate browser or blogging client because both come bundled up saving space and making it easy to post!

For me, the most
irreplacable part of Windows Live Writer is its image handling. On my site, every
post has to have an image – and I want my images to look good. So, I
want to be able to drop an image on there, resize/crop it exactly how I
want, sharpen/shadow and DONE. WLW lets one do this just by copy/paste
from a directory window, or even from the clipboard (in the case of a
screenshot). I haven’t found any other tools anywhere that have this
type of functionality, and now that I have a MacBook I happen to be
typing on, I miss it bitterly. Almost enough to make me want to run a
Windows 7 VM on it just for WLW.
Do any of these tools do any of what WLW does on this?
Sadly, I don’t think so any of the blog editors are as advanced as WLW on Mac! Blogo is advanced as has some of the features you are looking for, but it is a paid option!
