I just keep finding great plugins for Windows Live Writer! I recently moved my blog to WordPress and wanted to find out if WLW could support tags instead of just categories. As it turned out, the support to post tags is not enabled by default, so there are some things that have to be done in order to enable the support to add tags when you blog from Windows Live Writer. (I found this tip at ruhanirabin.com)
To enable tags in WLW, do the following:
- Download the latest version of Windows Live Writer.
- Download the File wlwmanifest.zip from Wordpress Trac.
- Unzip and upload all the included files with directories into your blog' root directory.
- Update or Add your Blog in WLW from the "Weblog" menu in WLW.
- Re-open WLW and, at the bottom, you'll need to click on the double up-arrow to expand the rest of the menu, which is hidden. This menu gives you access to all the metadata for your post, and now the keywords tags (WP tags) are available for you to enter in comma-separated list.
