Do you use one and if so, which one and why is it great?

I like Qumana (http://www.qumana.com/)

You can post to any of your blogs from one place, even cross-post to multiple blogs at one time.

It has a little drag-and-drop popup - you paste in article text and it pops up the full editor ready to select blogs and categories and submit.

It loads your current posts as well, making edits simple.

It's not perfect but it's the best I've seen yet..

and it's free

Does that one allow you to prepare entries ahead of time and then have it post them to the blogs on the date/time?

Very nice. Is qumana open source? I'd love to pile on some blog SEO features on to it. As well as some traffic baiting/filtering codes I use independently. Having them run off one app would save a ton of time.

looks like a good tool ;)

But I can't seem to find one that does what I'd like it to do..

You can set the post date to whatever you want, and WordPress won't show it until that time

So yes

Nope.. it's commercial. My guess is that they provide this for free to get you to use their advertising program - it has direct hooks built in for putting ads from their network into your blog.

Non-adult network..

So yes

But wordpress won't ping services as the posts go live... it pings only when the posts are published or updated... So if you "upload" 20 new blog entries all dated to appear in the future, the services get pinged just that one time.

so you can't use this on adult sites?

ahh... you guys forgot the best one. Microsoft released it recently and it's free too.

Writer is a great client for Windows Live Spaces but also works with other weblogs including Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad, WordPress (and many others).

Writer supports RSD (Really Simple Discoverability), the Metaweblog API, and the Movable Type API.

I wrote one for Windows using the Gdata specs, and one for FreeBSD using the Blogger and Gdata specs. I wanted the flexibility of being able to post data from any source, rather than being limited to what i could type in.

If you look at the spec sheet, it's not difficult to write.
