On Windows I used to blog to Wordpress using Microsoft Word 2010 blog feature, but the Mac version is missing this feature.
I am looking for alternatives, preferably free ones. If you specify a commercial solution please include the price:

.Casual WordPress users – who are just looking to test the FTP waters and do some basic troubleshooting – are probably best served by opting for one of the free software. As long as the FTP client is compatible with your operating system, you’re free to test them all out, to see which you like the best. So far, I have found FileZilla to be the most simple and powerful FTP client that you can use for free. Vpn client pptp for mac free. Download FileZilla. If this is the first time you are going to use the FileZilla, you should watch this free video tutorial from Bluehost. For most of the cPanel hosting, the configuration would be the same.
Please do not suggest generic text/html editors and submit different suggestions as separated answers.

You have basically two choices, both payware:
Marsedit
Torrent Client For Mac
$39.95: 'The best way to write, preview, and publish your blog.'
and
Ecto
$19.95: 'ecto is a feature-rich desktop blogging editor for MacOSX'
Both programs offer trial versions.

You might consider Flock, a free, Firefox-based browser with many other features, including a built in blog editor. It's quite an unusual program, as you can also use it to manage your Facebook and Twitter accounts and feeds. It's worth a look.

Unfortunately, the best solutions (ecto and MarsEdit) are not free. There is one alternative, but I would rather promote Sorin's solution of using Flock. If you are a TextMate, you can also use the XMLRPC capabilities of its Blogging bundle to blog from there.
Just curious, what more does a standalone editor offer in comparison to the WordPress rich text editor? I blog in plain text/html, but I think I remember the WordPress rich text environment to be rather flexible, with great media support for instance, as long as you are using a browser like Firefox.
