    Works well except the link that it places at the end of the post has no referring URL. Is this by design or a bug?

    This works nicely - thanks for your work. (The version on mozilla.org is the version that doesn’t work with FF2.0 - I hacked mine to make it work but you might want to update it on there!)

    Can I request that it takes a template for the post? I prefer doing target=”_blank” for my outgoing URLs, it’d be nice if this could do it automatically based on my chosen template… or something.

  30. datarat:

    Love the plugin and use it extensively. But I’ve noticed that it drops the text in completely without formatting. Things like paragraphs and even apostrophes are stripped out.

    Is this a setting in Live Writer, or something the plugin does?

    Love(d) your add-on.
    Just upgraded to Firefox 3 and was sad to find this wonderful add-on disabled.

    Looking forward to your upgraded add-on.

  33. steve matlock:

    This was installed with FF 2.x when I upgraded to 3.x, and now I can’t use it or delete it / uninstall it. How do I get it out of my list of add-ons in FF 3.x?

  34. David Grossman:

    Love the plugin, but when is the 3.0 version coming out?

  35. Can:

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks for your kind comments.
    I just updated the plug-in to FF 3. It is updated on the site, as version 0.4. It will soon appear on Mozilla site as well.
    Enjoy!

  37. Ian Kirk:

    I am quite impressed with your plugin. I prefer to run portable apps, and currently run WindowsLiveWrite in a portable state (see http://www.techlifeweb.com/2007/09/08/windows-live-writer-portable-20-now-with-u3/). This, of course, breaks the extension. Is there a way to “hardwire” the extension so that it can use a custom installation path?

  38. Can:

    Hi Ian,
    The plug-in uses the standard API of Windows Live Writer. So this is an issue with windows live writer.
    I think the API uses the registry for some work, maybe the portable versiuon should write some registry values as well ?
