1. Setting up Live Writer was a problem as the installer didn’t like me. This could be a Vista thing though and just removing all the Windows Live Dashboard Installer files fixed this.
2. At first WLW could not connect to the xmlrpc.php file on my server. This turned out to be easy to fix by adding the following to my .htaccess file.

   <Files xmlrpc.php>
   SecFilterInheritance Off
   </Files>

3. I also found a weird bug in WordPress that did not like saving this post via the web admin interface. I ended up adding some of the text, then saving it as a draft so I could add the Ultimate Tag Warrior tags from the web interface before finishing the text in WLW again. The bug is very odd and seems to be caused by the web console not liking saving files with xmlrpc in them anywhere. I have only been able to add it to this post as WLW doesn’t mind and once it is in the database it can be parsed correctly by WordPress.

In future I will be playing more with WLW, so there may be some updates more often than I would normally do – but don’t hold your breath
