4. BlogWorks – SHAREWARE
This application looks and feels quite amateurish. I’m not too keen on the User Interface which seems more like an OS X dialog window than a blogging client.

5. Xjournal – FREE
Xjournal is a blogging client designed to be used with the Livejournal service. A nice little application packed with great features.

Most of the blogging clients above support the XML-RPC specification, meaning they can be used with all popular blogger tools or services such as Blogger, WordPress etc.
