So where is it?

A big "Download" button would be nice cos I can't find the link to the zip. Not even under the "all you have to do ..." bit.

Hey Rahul,

Which language is this plug-in written in? Just for my information!

Hello Jigar,

I wrote this in VB.NET. You can learn more about creating a WLW plugin in VB.NET from http://blogs.msdn.com/rahulso/archive/2007/04/16/create-windows-live-writer-plugin-in-visual-basic-net.aspx.

HTH,

Hi Scott,

Yeah, I tried doing it once, but it got rejected (probably because, I uploaded a zip file instead of MSI). I have created an MSI and uploaded it a couple of days ago, but it is still showing in Pending Approval state. Can you tell me how long it takes for approval?? And is there anything I need to take care of?

I have just created an MSI and uploaded with the upload form, nothing much. Please let me know if I am missing anything!

Thanks again for being in touch [:)] I have a couple of other ideas on which a plugin could be nice, let me know if you are interested and we can create them together if you like!

Thanks and regards,

Rahul

It can take a random amount of time I've found. It shouldn't be more than a few days.

By the way, if you're interested in looking at plugins using C#, I have a few tutorials on how to do this, they can be found http://scottisafooldev.spaces.live.com/Lists/cns!FE151030F50B5B37!147 here. I also have a C# template for Visual Studio which can be downloaded from www.scottisafool.co.uk/LiveWriterPlugin.zip

Hi Rahul,

This is cool! Thanks!

Just one thing though. It seems for the MSN smileys, there is a white background to each smiley. That would be ok if my blog was a plain white background. However, since mine is a dark background, each smiley has a whie box look to it. No problem with the Yahoo ones though! :)

Hi Rahul, first thank you for this plug-in. It is the first WLW I have downloaded so far, and it's very cute.

Now I have a little question: I can see the emoticons after they've been inserted to the post, but I can't see them in the tabbed table (when I'm selecting them). They appear as "X".

I should mention that, I also can't preview gifs on my computer with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, or Microsoft Office Picture Manager. And I assume those emoticons are all gifs.

I would be grateful if you could answer this little question of mine, and wish you a happy holiday.

Hi!

First, I really like this plug-in, as I prefer the Yahoo Smilies ;) (and I like to have a big choice *g*)

Recently I tried to add some Smilies (the Skype ones...), and although I saved the file several times, the Icons wouldn't show up when I restarted the writer. And when I went back to the .txt-file, my changes were gone.

I did this twice, and afterwards I was quite annoyed, as I tried to add about 60... (Was this too much?)

Thanks in advance!

Hi Elisabeth,

I think you just found a bug. In fact, initially it was possible but due to some changes in the beta deployment I had to deprecate this feature.

Watch out for this space or mail me at rahulso at microsoft.com and I would inform you when the update is done. Right now, I am a bit pressed for time, but I will do it as soon as the time permits.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Rahul
