This is so slick, you need to download Flock and try it. This currently only works with hosted blogging services: WordPress, TypePad, Movable Type, LiveJournal, Drupal, and Blogger. It does support private blog services that use these APIs: Movable Type, MetaWeblog, Blogger, and Atom.
I switched from blogging on Bloglines.com to Wordpress.com just because of Flock. I liked the idea enough to try out Wordpress.com and liked it enough to move all new posts to Wordpress.com.
Because of Flock, I am actually using my Flickr account and now have signed up with photobucket to see if I prefer their service. What I have seen so far is that I have two services that can host my pictures and from a blogging perspective, it doesn't matter where the pictures are stored. If I fill up Flickr, I can just start posting to photobucket and vice versa.
You also are explicitly given a local save option in the blogging tool which saves to a sane location like "My Documents\Flock Blog Posts"
I'm also very happy with the Linux version. After creating a launcher pointing to /home/username/flock/flock, I was able to use the xpm icon located in the same folder and drag it onto my gnome panel.
Here are a couple screenshots of the photo tools:
