Not many Umbraco users or developers know about this feature even though they have used it in their pitch material and have sold it to clients as a feature.

Umbraco has the ability to interface with Microsoft Word or liveWriter via a set of popular blogging APIs.  This is a feature that we teach developers how to use on the Level 1 Umbraco training course.  It allows you the ability to hookup 3 fields (Description, Category, Excerpt) to Umbraco fields.  For example you could manage your News, Blog, or any other simple repeated content.

Check out Content Channels in the Users section of the back office sometime and try hook it up yourself.

BTW this post was posted from liveWriter :)
