I have a WordPress site hosted on my personal server. I will be unavailable by I

Question

I have a WordPress site hosted on my personal server. I will be unavailable by Internet for a little while, and I'd like to write up some posts for my blog.

Normally, you need to be connected to WordPress to start writing the blog, and it will do offline-saving automatically. But this is limited to one entry, per tab. I could use Notepad, but it doesn't have spell check built in. I could use Microsoft Word, but the "Paste from Word" leaves a lot to be desired.

What I'm looking for is a program that does the following:

Start a new post while offline
Lets me edit posts I created already with the program
Spell check
Uploads new posts when I reconnect
Has the same features as the online editor (i.e. toolbars, WYSIWYG and code editor)
Free (as in beer)
Works on either Windows or Mac OSX

Bonus features:

Edit posts currently on the website (with an offline copy)

Explanation / Answer

As I recall the SU blog runs on wordpress, and I was using windows live writer to post on it. Its part of windows essentials, works with WP blogs and if I recall correctly did/does most of what you have listed there

Start a new post while offline - yes
Lets me edit posts I created already with the program yes (though I can't remember if it edits uploaded posts)
Spell check - and grammar check
Uploads new posts when I reconnect - yes
Has the same features as the online editor (i.e. toolbars, WYSIWYG and Code editor)kind of - it has its own UI but its broadly compatible and in some ways better
Free (as in beer) yes
Works on either Windows or Mac OSX - windows only
