Windows Live Writer (WLW) uses an XML manifest file to determine what features a blog supports. By default it does a good job supporting WordPress without a manifest file, but that doesn’t include support to mt_keywords (tagging) in XML-RPC methods. The included manifest file turns on tagging support in WLW.
- Grab the Latest version of Windows Live Writer.
- Now Download the File wlwmanifest.zip from WordPress Trac.
- Unzip and upload all the included files with directories into your blog Root Directory (Using any FTP program).
- Update or Add your Blog on the Windows Live Writer Accounts.
Then navigate through the tree until you get to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Writer\Weblogs\{blog-id}\UserOptionOverrides where “blog-id” will be a long string of characters that refers to your blog.
For example, the entire string on my system looks like this: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Writer\Weblogs\5b086434-14cc-4e6f-836d-c80ebdc69f25\UserOptionOverrides.
Under the UserOptionOverrides you need to add a new string value called “supportsKeywords” and it should have a value of “Yes”.
OK, now launch WLW and click the little chevrons on the bottom to the right of “set publish date”.You’ll see a new entry called “Keywords”. You add your WordPress 2.3 tags here, all separated by a comma
