Ever had a problem you have been thinking about for a while and couldn't come up with a solution, and then one day, it hits you? And it's so simple, you wonder how you missed it? I had that today.

I have been trying to figure out how to get a WYSIWYG editor for my blog. I tried Newsgator's posting, but Outlook's HTML output is pathetic. I'm not sure how .Text handles it, but b2evolution rejected about half of the posts I tried.

So my solution is to post directly to the database with a small app I built. Right now, the tool is very infantile. The category is hard coded, it only supports one category, it's hard coded to a particular user and blog, and the connection string is not dynamic. So there's some work to do still. It also doesn't ping any blog update sites. So I'll either figure that out, or figure out the XMLRPC interface that b2evo uses.

But the point is, I can now make much prettier posts!
