I’ve been thinking about this for a while. Not many of my close friends/family blog or have a website. Yes I realize I’m a technophile, so if you are totally uninterested in having your own place on the interwebs I can understand that. Basically I want to know if I was to offer you a place to blog, where you could share pictures, videos, and stories would you be interested? Let me know in the poll or via the contact page.

Loading ...I’ve been a big fan of what Chris Nixon is doing over at Photografr.com so I decided to throw my hat into the ring as part of his site, and Chris accepted. I’ll be trying to cover things that you can do with Lightroom so keep an eye out over there for weekly posts.

I’ve been toying around with Windows Live Writer (WLW) and was trying to figure out how to add tags to my post and have it noticed in WordPress. The key is in the keyword! Assuming you have the advanced section below the post closed, you should see an image of two arrows pointing down. Click on the arrows and this should open up the advanced post options section.
Now in order for your WordPress site to take advantage of tagging you need to be using at least WordPress 2.3 or WordPress MU 1.3 or a blog over at WordPress.com. Your theme should also be updated to display the tags so either go looking for an updated version by the theme author, or checkout this article on the WP Codex. To make sure you can take advantage of WLW and your site, check the source of your homepage and see if you see some code that looks like this in your <HEAD> section:
<link rel="wlwmanifest" type="application/wlwmanifest+xml" href="http://yoursite.com/wp-includes/wlwmanifest.xml" />
If that line is missing then you probably aren’t using a correct version of WordPress. Also of note, if you just upgraded WordPress you might want to update the configuration of you blog in WLW. Just click on the Weblog drop down on the toolbar and choose “Edit Weblog Settings…”, then click on the “Update Account Configuration…” button and you should be on your way.
Ok, now you are all set for tagging in your post. If you look in the advanced section we opened below there is a section titled “Keywords:” and right below that is an area for text input. Just write what you want to use as tags in the Keywords section and because everything should be configured correctly once you publish the post, your tags should show up correctly.
That’s all, happy tagging!
