Windows Live Writer + Technorati Tags
Keyvan Nayyeri created a really cool plugin for
Windows Live Writer, the
Technorati Tags plugin.
This plugin helps you to add Technorati Tags to your post. These tags are added in the end of each post and help you get more traffic to your blog.
What is really cool about his article is that he shows how to build a Windows Live Writer plugin.
As I stated yesterday Microsoft announced Beta version of its Windows Live Writer a blog client. Most parts of this client are written in .NET and this enabled everyone to write his own plugins for it.
Today Jayson and I were chatting about lack of Currently Playing song functionality in Live Writer (it's one of cool features in BlogMl and W.Bloggar) and decided to have a competition to write its plugin for Live Writer ourselves. I started working on Windows Media Player plugin and he worked on Winamp. He could finish his job and posted about it here. But I couldn't finish writing that plugin because my Windows Media Player has some problems and I couldn't get its ActiveX reference (AxWMPLib) to work.
However I didn't want to sleep without writing a plugin and tried to write a more useful plugin to add Technorati tags to blog posts. Here I write about the process I followed to let others start coding for Live Writer. I created a workspace on CodePlex to write plugins for fun and share them with others.
