Windows Live Writer + Tag4Writer = UTW Tagging

Recently I read a post by Bharath Kumar about Tagging (UTW) using Tag4Writer Plugin for Live Writer. His method involves editing a XML files, which is a messy job. So here is a simpler method (I assume you have already installed Windows Live Writer):

  1. Download Tag4Writer and install it
  2. Open Windows Live Writer, Go to Tools >> Preference >> Plugins
  3. Select ‘Tag List Generator’ and click options
  4. Now choose ‘Custom’ from the drop down menu and add [code lang="html"]{tag}[/code] in the box just below it. (Replace yoursite.com with your URL)
  5. Then add [code][tags]{taglist}[/tags][/code] in Tag List HTML Template. (Refer Screenshot)

If you on a hunt for new plugins, Microsoft has added a new Writer Section on top of its Live Gallery for you. [...]
