Well I finally fixed the error with my blog that prevented me from posting using tools like w.bloggar or the new BlogJet which I am giving a spin! Turns out the ‘services’ folder in my IIS was an application, so removing the application made everything work smoothly again 
BlogJet is really nice, looks like a Windows XP application. Doesn’t seem as powerful as w.bloggar however, and it’s creators intend to charge for future versions.
