[Tools] Windows Live Writer & Tags etc.

I run several blogs, both niche, personal and business! I probably spend more time diving in and out of WordPress than almost any other software!

I’d tried Live Writer before, way back in the beta stages and wasn’t overly impressed if I’m honest, but decided to give it another go today. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised (the previous post was written using it)!

One of the beauties of Live Writer is that I can save lots of drafts and add to them as I read more information on a subject, this could prove to be an invaluable tool when I’m fighting through my 3,500 unread posts in Google Reader!

The one thing I missed when I posted the previous post, was the ability to add tags to posts, I went in and manually added them afterwards. A bit of digging proved that this code had now been added to Wordpress Core and that I just had to go looking for the option (Insert -> Tags for those who are interested!).

Update: Interestingly the tags below don’t seem to link to themselves (they do however link to previous posts with the same tags that have been inputted to the Wordpress Tag system. Does anyone know how to make this work in Writer?
