Great tool for blogging, especially for those who want to be a little freer in the where and when.
Check out the performancing add-on for Firefox. Very cool extension which allows you, within the browser, write and publish blogs remotely. Here's the idea, you are looking at a cool website, you hit F8 and Performancing pops up. Type in your blog, drag images from the web page into the UI, and it takes care of linking to the image source.
Awesome all around so far. Combined with FF2's spell check and my blogging ration just jumped.

have had it installed for a while
I checked it out back in March, but haven't found myself using it much. The primary reason is probably my perception that the wysiwyg editor was less advanced or predictable than the TinyMCE editor I have enabled on all the sites which I blog. If I were posting to several sites which each had different behaviors I suppose a consistent interface would be helpful. However, even in that case, the output will likely be interpreted differently on each of those sites (for instance whether or not paragraph tags are stripped, or whether spaces are interpreted as paragraph marks).
I have still had it installed, but don't click on it often. I did like the fact that I could use it to post to multiple blogs, and could pull in previous content from different blogs. Also the ability to save drafts local (which doesn't help if I am switching os'es or machines often).
Interestingly enough, one of the primary motivations as well was the spell check, which of course Firefox 2.0 solves. So...
