Equivalent to Windows Live Writer for Linux?

Question

Is there any Linux equivalent to Windows Live Writer? I've got the Wordpress for iPhone app on my iPod and Windows Live Writer on Windows. These programs are much easier for stuff such as adding images than the web interface. Is there a similar program for Linux that works with self-hosted Wordpress blogs?

Answer 1

I don't know of a similar product with all of the features, but Gnome Blog is pretty cool. It's very simple to use and works right from the panel:
