Can I use a 3rd party blog writer (Windows Live Writer) to submit blog entries?

I would like to use Windows Live Writer to write to my blog in Confluence. I have a choice of several different protocols, will any of them work?

WordPress
Blogger
Atom Publishing Protocol
LiveJournal
Community Server
dasBlog
MetaWeblog API

Any of these usable protocols to connect to the Confluence blog?

Confluence blogs are pages that are published, searched and rendered slightly differently to other Confluence pages. There's no real support for blog protocols because Confluence is designed as a wiki over a blogging portal. It's got a SOAP and REST interface which you could use to poke blogs in if you wanted to, but that's about it.

So, without that, the question really becomes "does Windows Live Writer produce output that Confluence can understand?".

Since WLW produces HTML I should hope the answer to that is "yes".

It can read *standard* HTML from files on the disk - see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Importing+Pages+from+Disk (I say "standard" because my experience with WLW is that it does some really terrible html sometimes, because it has to botch it to "work" with bad browsers like IE)

but... WLW doesn't publish to disk. If Confluence can read pages from disk, then why can't the same endpoint be standardized to accept the HTML coming across from WLW?
