Screencast: Using Word 2007 or Windows Live Writer to post to SharePoint blog
[A growing number of our customers has been asking for richer ways of creating blog entries to be posted to their SharePoint environment. To answer this FAQ, I've cross-posted below a blog entry by Mike Gannotti from several months ago. For more information about Word and Windows Live Writer, visit the Microsoft Office Word team blog and the Windows Live Writer team blog, respectively.

I am often asked about tools for publishing to a SharePoint blog. There are two great tools that interface with SharePoint seamlessly. If you are a user of Microsoft Office Word 2007 then you have native integration with SharePoint that is simple to setup and best of all makes use of your primary publishing tool for blog publishing as well. Don't have Word 2007? Not a problem. You can download the free Windows Live Writer tool. I have been using this versatile tool as my primary blog publishing tool as of late.
Below I have two separate videos available for viewing that demonstrate how to configure either of these tools for use against a SharePoint based blog.
If you don't have Windows Media Player (running a Mac for example) you can view a lower resolution version of the file via one of the links below.
