I use Windows Live Writer to write my blog posts offline, then schedule them to publish in advance. I love Windows Live Writer because it’s so much easier to write posts offline. With Windows Live Writer, I can add/edit images, insert videos, assign categories/tags, select author, modify the permalink, and password-protect a post without being connected to the Internet.
Windows Live Writer has a keyword field that allows you to add tags to posts, but it’s not enabled by default. Some WordPress theme templates enable the feature in WLW, but some templates do not. This was the case with one of my blogs. I can write posts offline and assign categories, but I cannot add tags. I have to publish the posts first, then go to the WordPress dashboard to add tags. It was kind of annoying, and I didn’t want to install a new theme template. I was searching for a work around solution and found this utility to enable keywords/tags field to WLW. You can download the WriterKeywordsEnable utility to force the tags field to your WLW.
