Make WP Keywords a Tag Provider Option in Windows Live Writer

One thing I wish Windows Live Writer would do is make the keywords functionality available from the “Properties” window a Tag Provider option along with the other tag providers like: flickr, BuzzNet, Technorati, IceRocket, etc.
I’ll say it again as well, you really need to provide a function for me to browse through my uploads […]

I couldn’t live without….

The question was presented to me by my channel editor at b5 for an upcoming theme across the channel.
My immediate thought was that I couldn’t live without Windows Live Writer now. I’ve become so used to the application that my productivity around blogging and expressing my thoughts and creativity are enmeshed through-out the app. As […]

Windows 7 in 2009?

Lots of articles and posts lately about Microsoft gearing to launch Windows 7 in late 2009. We know that will more than likely end up being 2010, but that’s not the important part.
An article by Mary Jo Foley at All About Microsoft on ZDNet says that Windows 7 and Windows Live are going to be […]

Windows LiveWriter Cutting Off Category Labels

I absolutely love using Windows Live Writer to do all my blogging work. I think it’s a great tool, with loads of features and flexibility. After finding and downloading a number of additional plug-ins, I like it even more.
I’ve got a small little issue though. Something happened recently where the labels on my categories […]

Windows Live Writer Plug-ins Goldmine

Why in the world it’s taken me this long to search for, download and install some additional plug-ins for LiveWriter; I have no clue.
As you can see from the images above, I downloaded quite a few files that I’ve now installed and can use with Windows Live Writer.
I’m sure you’ll be seeing the results […]

Another Reason to Like Windows Live Services

I know it’s not something that other blog writing tools don’t have, but I just tried the “Blog This” feature in Internet Explorer 7 that’s available since I have Windows LiveWriter installed.
It makes it super-easy to add something to one of my WordPress blogs from a website I’m reading. Since all the blogs I manage […]

Windows Live Writer Helps Me Succeed

I believe I set a personal record this past month in blogging. Across different WordPress sites I contribute to with regularity, I amassed a total post count of 159 posts.
I’ll tell you, it was fun, and it didn’t seem like quite as much work as it did previously. I think I can attribute that to […]

Windows Live Writer Now Managing All My Blogs

A huge Thanks to Joe Cheng who shared a solution for a problem I was having with Windows Live Writer.
I followed his advice; downloaded and reinstalled IE7. After quite a lengthy uninstall and reinstall process, although it pretty much ran itself completely, everything is back up and running and all fresh and ready to explore.
But […]

Adding New Blog to Windows Live Writer

I thought for sure I had posted about this error I was receiving when trying to use Windows Live Writer, but I couldn’t find anything in my previous posts. If I’ve overlooked it, I apologize, but as it’s still bothering me and I’d like a solution I’ll write about it again anyway.
Is anyone else seeing […]

How To Use Previously Uploaded WP Images with Live Writer

I am absolutely loving using Windows Live Writer for all my blogging. Well, except for the fact I’m not able to use it for all my blogging because of this weird error message that I can’t seem to get a solution for up to this point.
Yet, one of the frustrations I have of the program […]
