Over at CodePlex Tim Heuer has some pretty cool plugins for Windows Live Writer. So cool in fact, I joined the projects to do what I can to help their development along. I haven't had the chance to use the Flickr4Writer plugin yet, but have been using the Tag4Writer plugin for a couple days now and it is fantastic. It makes adding those Technorati tags a cinch.
If you are a [Windows Live Writer](http://ideas.live.com/programpage.aspx?versionId=4372c8c2-b76f- 4d44-aea1-9835b61d8dc1) user, then go the links above and check these plugins out. If you are not a Writer user, then these plugins could very well be the functionality you were looking for in an offline blog publisher and you are just a few short clicks away from converting over to [Windows Live Writer](http://ideas.live.com/programpage.aspx?versionId=4372c8c2-b76f- 4d44-aea1-9835b61d8dc1).
