Part of the reason for my recent increase in blogging is mostly due to my discovery of Windows Live Writer, I absolutely love it. The only complaint I’ve had so far is that it doesn’t support tagging for Wordpress 2.3, something recently introduced with the release of Wordpress 2.3. I assumed I’d have to wait for an update from Microsoft to be able to use WP 2.3 tagging, but it turns out that isn’t the case. Check out this post from Ruhani Rabin who provides a great tutorial on how to enable tags support in WLW for WordPress:
In a nutshell all you have to do is download the wlwmanifest.xml file and upload it to wp-includes. This file is what tells WLW a bit more about the blog and it’s capabilities. Once that is uploaded, update the blog in WLW (Weblog > Manage Weblog) and viola, the “keywords” box shows up in the advanced options menu below your post in WLW.
