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.

current release: 1.2 new 

As I’ve mentioned before, my favorite application for writing posts for my blogs is Windows Live Writer. Sometimes I use it on more than one PC. In such cases what I want is to have all my plug-ins and other settings to be synchronized on all computers. Doing it manually requires time and effort. Since I haven’t found anything like this on internet, I’ve decided to create a plug-in that will do it for me.

The wizard allows you to export chosen settings from Writer to external file and/or even on FTP folder (and soon SkyDrive). So when you import settings on another PC you can access this data remotely. In addition this is also a good way of backing up your configuration so you can restore to your existing working environment right after installing the Live Writer and the Import/Export plug-in.

Main features

• Export/Import configuration settings
  • Auto links glossary
  • Preferences
  • Blogs – blog accounts configured for current user
  • Plug-ins – all plug-ins installed on current PC
• Saving settings in
  • local folder
  • network folder
  • folder on FTP
  • folder on SkyDrive (soon)
  • anywhere in the cloud (soon)
• Very quick and straightforward installation
