Windows Live Writer Part II

I was looking around Windows Live Writer a little more.  This program has quickly become my preferred way of posting messages.

In my previous Windows Live Writer post, I mentioned that I had installed Tag4Writer in order to tag a post and that it doesn't work for Community Server.  It turns out Windows Live Writer actually has the tag support built in, it just appears to be unable to add new tags.  In the upper right-hand corner of the program is a drop down list that lists the categories.  Categories in CS 2.x have basically become tags and so the tags that I entered in CS show up there.  Simply checking these check boxes tags the post.

Also in that post, I had mentioned that WLW removes my tags.  Those category choices would explain why.  If I repost a message after having entered tags on the web, then it re-posts the message with no categories.  Selecting the tags in this list would have kept the tags when the message was re-posted.
