As far as I know, you are right about Live Writer. It has a specific area — in My Documents, I believe — that it stores versions of your posts on. It will download the most recent version from the web though, if you did some updates in the meantime, but it appears to need to connect to what you already have. I would have to install Live Writer on another computer to test properly though.

I might have to check this out. I only just started with Tumblr, and I’m not sure if it will make it into my workflow or not. But, if it does, this would be handy. With so many sites pulling and pushing stuff to other sites, this might be the ideal solution to avoid double posts, if you turn off a site’s pulling of content from elsewhere. I guess the only real drawback is that you’re then tied to one computer, because as best I can tell, Live Writer can’t download posts that were initially drafted elsewhere. Or am I wrong about that?
