Most of these features are available in edublogs.org but some eg headings are not yet in wordpress.com
Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 3
Heading 4
Heading 5
Heading 6
Paragraph (which i think is about font size 11)
test of the all important smilies
Plenty of other features and you can compose offline then post (or draft) to your blog online
Very user friendly.

Our previous experimentation on this blog
Despite Writer saving some online time (and expense), it will be better to get used to edublogs.org/learnerblogs.org online first. Then I think there is a place for experimentation with the advantages of an offline desktop application. We’ll see. I don’t want to confuse things either – remember ‘connectness, convenience, contact’. Besides after publishing with Writer, you have to edit the post then save it and then smiley faces work
