After feedback from a few people, and more time using Windows Live Writer with WordPress, I’ve uploaded a new version of the Keyword Tags for WordPress plugin that features several changes;

  • Static WordPress pages (e.g. ‘About’) can now be edited within Windows Live Writer and Ecto.
  • Added a fix that stops Windows Live Writer from truncating posts that use the <!–more–> tag
  • Added option that will always display drafts above normal posts when viewing a list of posts within Windows Live Writer/Ecto
  • Added an option that will set the date and time of a post to the current date/time when a post is published after previously being saved as a draft via XMLRPC. By default there’s a bug in WordPress where posts are given the date/time they were first saved as a draft if edited via a tool such as Windows Live Writer/Ecto.

Update 

I’ve just uploaded a new version (0.75) that has has an option to turn tags into a meta-keyword statement in the header of single posts or pages. I’d had this functionality in my custom theme for a while, but thought I’d make it a global option :)
