Using Windows Live Writer to Blog to the world one post at a time

What do you say when you are testing a blogging platform?
1) Try it out and stop complaining..
2) Keep looking around.
3) For the moment I am using Windows Live Writer and it seems to work well.
These are the features i’m looking to use.
a) SEO. Ability to add metatages and content tags so that
b) CHeck out the rest of the windows live writer plugins.
Ability to add some code..

{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var gameToRate = new NrlGameRater();
            gameToRate.GamePerformanceRating();
            Console.WriteLine("{0} kicks were made during the game.", gameToRate.);
            Console.WriteLine(gameToRate.SetCompletionRate());
        }
    }
}

namespace pluralsightCSharp
{
    public interface IGameRater
    {
