So I finally tested the full spectrum of blogging software to see wich worked best with the dasBlog Blogger XML-RPC API.

*UPDATE* I have another list of new software here, read this one *after* you read the one you are already viewing.

*Another Update* Here is a list of even more blogging tools

These fully support the the API

http://zoundry.com/

- supports Tag Words for tag sites (Technorati, Flicr, etc.)
- very robust insert link feature
- has a full verison (still FREE) that supports money making insertable links (didn't try it)
- good category and update / delete integration
