@Jon to add a excerpt you have to click on the down arrow near the categories and add it in the field that is provided there.

I don’t seem to have any problems with the images, you can give it a try though

There are several advantages like I do not need to worry about uploading pictures to the site and can directly add pictures from my desktop. The writer will directly upload it to the server.

Other than that its just the ease with the editor nothing more, I am more comfortable writing and saving drafts on live writer which I publish when I have completely checked it out.

What advantages do you enjoy over writing the posts directly in the Wordpress Dashboard?

I didn’t mind it to much, but it didn’t really seem any better than writing in the Dashboard for me, plus I write from several different computers.

I have been looking for something like this - Scribefire and Zoundry were my previous experiences. This promises to be better.

I have been using it as a primary tool for quite some time. I used BlogDesk too which was a bit buggy and used to flicker and lose focus from the writing area weirdly so I gave up on it.

I tried Post2Blog when it became free but again was not comfortable using it. So this release definitely is on top of the list with the additional features.

I used version 1.0 for awhile but couldn’t stand it after awhile. I’m not sure if I prefer posting within Wordpress or if it was just lacking some features.

I will probably be giving version 2.0 a try soon. It definitely looks like they’ve addressed a lot of the reasons people weren’t using it.
