Tagging with Wordpress – tagging console not available

The latest release of the Windows Live Writer 2008 supports tagging with Wordpress 2.3.1. Tobbi explained it in this post.

In some cases, the tagging console is not available, even with Wordpress 2.3.1. To solve this problem you have to add a simple code line between <head> and </head> in your Wordpress theme.

<link rel=”wlwmanifest” type=”application/wlwmanifest+xml” href=”http://www.domain.com/wp-includes/wlwmanifest.xml” />

After this little step the tagging console will be available in the Windows Live Writer 2008

clip_image004

The Final Version of the Windows Live Writer (Version 1) is out. There is not an official download, but the guys from LiveSide and Mess.be find this little trick to get the version previously. You have to start the Windows Live Installer in you language (I try it with the Italian one and it works) and select the Windows Live Writer.

Put your Adsense code where you want

The Adsense Coder Plugin let you put your Adsense code where you want within your blog post. Unfortunately you have to switch to the HTML View (Shift + F11) and put your code outside of a paragraph tag (<p>….</p>) to avoid conflicts with the paragraph which the plugin creates.

Windows Live Writer Backup Utility v2

The Windows Live Writer Backup Utility has been updated there are no new functions, but now it is fully compatible with the Windows Live Writer Beta 3.

Well the main things that have been sorted are the new directory path for Live Writer.

If you had beta 2 and upgraded to beta 3, the plugins stayed in the beta 2 plugins folder, doing a backup now will put them all into the one folder when you restore.

Older backup files (pre-beta 3), will still work. If you had settings from beta 2 backed up, they will get migrated across for beta 3.

If a plugin developer chooses to use the PluginAssemblies method of deployment (like me), those plugins and associated files will get backed up and restored OK.

New Windows Live Writer Version is coming

LiveSide and Techcrunch, referring to the New York Times, announce that Microsoft is planning to release the new version of the Windows Live Installer this week.

This week, it plans to turn that strategy upside down, making available free software that connects its Windows operating system to software services delivered on the Internet, a practice increasingly referred to as “cloud” computing. The initiative is part of an effort to connect Windows more seamlessly to a growing array of Internet services.[…]

The software release will offer PC users the option of downloading a set of the services with a single Unified Installer program, or as separate components. The individual services are Windows Live Photo Gallery, Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Messenger 8.5 and Windows Live OneCare Family Safety, a computer security program.

The release, though it includes the Windows Live Writer blogging application…
