Wordpress 2.3 has been released with a new tagging system, but the latest version of Windows Live Writer was released before this new feature became public with the result that the feature is not supported by default. Luckily, Adam Vero has blogged about a workaround to make WLW support this new feature. He also goes into various issues with the new tags support and WLW, so read the article in its entirety and heed the warnings!

However, it should be noted that tags is a new supported feature and in our opinion aren’t quite ready for prime time just yet. It is still necessary to use a tagging plugin to get the level of functionality that users wish of a tagging system. This blog currently uses SimpleTags that is incredibly simple to install and just as easy to use.
