Snippets Manager for Windows Live Writer

I use Windows Live Writer to write articles for my blog. It’s a very popular tool among other bloggers. Very often I find myself adding the same piece of content to different posts. In the beginning I was just going back to the original post, copying the text that I need and paste it to the new post. I did not like the idea of doing it all the time (waste of time and too much effort). So I’ve decided to create a plug-in that will do this for me – organize my snippets in one place and allow me to add it into any post very quickly.

Main features

  • Manage snippets in categories
  • Advanced snippet design – allows marking placeholders where custom text can be inserted to
  • Familiar and intuitive user interface
  • Saving snippets in external file (ideal for backup/restore scenarios) 
  • Loading snippets from file
  • Quick and straightforward installation process

Since I’m using this plug-in by myself I will keep improving in on a regular basis.

I believe that this is a must have plug-in for any serious blogger.
