Shawn’s Thoughts

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.
