UPDATE (09/19/06): Frank updated his plugin, and addressed two of my three issues. As for the third, let me quote Frank: The first time I went to enter "Richmond, VA" into the text box; I realized that using comma's as a field delimiter has certain drawbacks. Hence, I made semi-colon the delimiter. I guess that's fair - I'll deal with it. ---- Frank La Vigne, one of my new coworkers at AIS wrote a Live Writer plugin that allows you to tag your posts with Technorati tags. So naturally I decided to try it out. Below are some comments: The Good: It works (as is evident by this post.) It's convenient, with a simple pop-up available form both the Insert menu and the Insert action pane group Easy to install, just download, and extract into the plugin folder The Bad: You have to enter the tags separated with a semicolon. Why semicolon? I can understand not using space (though I'm used to that from del.icio.us), but why not comma? There's no icon for the menu item The Ugly: The dialogs title says Insert Hello World. Uhm - how about Insert Tags? All in all a good job, just in need of some simple polishing. Via Russ Stalters' BetterECM. Tags: technoratiwlwlive writerblogtoolspluginfree
