Nate,

I have successfully used ScribeFire (Firefox add-on) to connect to
Quills.  Setup was pretty straightforward, the only trick is that Quills
provides a keycode that you need to enter into ScribeFire. 

I'm going to poke about a bit more with Windows Live Writer tonight and
maybe see if I can get it to talk to the Quills instance I've remotely
authored against before (which happens to be theploneblog.org, FYI).


best,
jon
