Wordpress tag support in Windows Live Writer

Posted on | April 10, 2008 |

I learned something new last night from Becky. I’ve been looking for a way to insert Wordpress tags into my posts using Windows Live Writer. Writer has great support for inserting tags from a lot of different sources, including del.icio.us, Flickr, Technorati, and others. Unfortunately, Wordpress isn’t on that list. Fortunately, there’s an easier way, although it isn’t obvious. Writer can insert keywords into a post, and if it is a Wordpress blog, Writer converts those keywords into Wordpress tags. The feature is hidden at first – look at the bottom of the new post screen and click the double down arrow.

Thanks Becky. Very cool.
