Windows Live Writer Plugins

Everything to make Windows Live Writer even easier and better

Multiple Tag: (custom) tagging for WLW

1 Multiple Tag was written while Tag4Writer was being developed. There is some functionality overlap with that plugin but Multiple Tag has its own merits to stand on as well.

2 Tagging is again done by hitting Insert Tags… on the Insert menu in the sidebar or the Insert menu dropdown. You enter your tags and, as is the case with Tag4Writer, they are appended to your post, formatted and all.

A cool difference is that Multiple Tag allows for editing of the tags without having to delete the existing tags or go into HTML mode. As soon as you post your tags they are displayed in a properties panel. Here you can edit your tags and re-insert them. Want to edit your tags at a later date? Click on your tags, they appear in the properties panel and you can again edit them. Very cool idea.

Multiple Tag by default supports tags for Technorati but supports tagging for Technorati, delicious, Flickr, IceRocket, Buzznet, 43things and LiveJournal. You can also add your own custom tags. Unlike Tag4Writer you can add as many custom services as you wish.

3 The template(s) for each tagging service can be modified so that the tags appears exactly as you like them.

Notes from the developer:

When you first run the program, a XML-file will be created in the plugin directory of Windows Live Writer. This XML-file holds the information about the tag-sites
By default only Technorati tags will be inserted into your post
You can change the tags to be inserted into your post by editing the XML-file changing the tag “inUse”
Edits you make to the tag-templates will not be saved in this beta-version
Edits you make to the HTML-template will be saved in this beta-version
Sites you add will be saved in this beta-version

Multiple Tag is a manual installation plugin. Simply place the DLL file in the Plugins directory in your Windows Live Writer installation folder and (re)start Windows Live Writer.
