I have been searching for an alternative Blogging tool that doesn’t require me to be in the admin pages of Wordpress. Most of the Windows solutions are closed source or OFG they want MONEY!! for their software.
Anyway I found Drivel for Linux which is OK. It’s very basic but it gets the job done.
But on Windows I didn’t find anything that was FREE so I went for Performancing.
You can see a list of other WordPress (and other Blog) clients on this page.
