When you choose a language for your blog, that dictates which alphabet you can use for that blog. If you want to type in all three of those languages, you’ll have to choose a language for your blog which contains all of the various letters and accents, and I don’t think there is one.

I have no experience with WindowsLiveWriter because I’m on a Mac, but you might investigate if it would show accent marks and punctuation for Spanish and Germain in a Word-like way:
