@K – That’s good! Btw, what version were you using before you updated and to what version did you update to? Practice makes perfect. The more you do updates, the easier it gets. :)

I just updated. It was easy pala. hahaha.

@sylv3rblade – Oh I see. I didn’t know there was a HTML view. I guess I didn’t spend too much time playing around with it. Hehe
Anyways, thanks for the info. I’ll try Live Writer again later and I’ll also take a look at BlogDesk. :)

Actually you can add codes because WL Writer supports HTML view as well as inserting HTML snippets. The best feature I’ve found for the Writer so far is native tables support XD. I hated the WP-Tables plugin before 2.3 so I looked for alternatives.
Currently the only program that’s almost at par with WL Writer is BlogDesk. Just look at the review here if you’re interested.

@sylv3rblade – I see. I’ve tried Live Writer but I don’t like coz its a WYSIWYG editor like WP’s visual rich editor which I never use. I like adding the codes and stuff myself.
Thanks for the heads up! I’m planning to do the update later today if I have time. :)
October 27th, 2007 at 9:24 pm
Yep. I’m a Live Writer user.
It was a hassle to write your post there THEN save it as draft and edit online just so you can add tags on it. Now it’s all smooth sailing.
BTW.
If you guys plan to upgrade to 2.3 be warned that ALL plugins that use wp_categories will simply stop working.

@K – It’s not compulsary but it’s imperative that you update your WordPress installation if it includes security fixes and WP 2.3.1 includes one.
Btw, what version are you using right now?
October 27th, 2007 at 12:23 pm
Now I’m a bit paranoid of the new Wordpress version. Compulsory ba tong upgrade or ok lang yung earlier version?

@McBilly – You’re welcome! I guess I checked too early because when I checked it again earlier, my PR dropped to 4. :(
Yes, they’ve been updating blogs and good for you that you’ve gained a PR 3. :)
October 27th, 2007 at 12:37 am
Hi Jaypee. Thanks for the inclusion bro. It’s good that your PR remained a steady PR 5. :mrgreen:
For me, I got a boost from PR 0 to PR 3. I guess, Google is really updating it currently.
October 26th, 2007 at 9:00 pm
@sylv3rblade – Yeah, they’ve released 2.3.1 while I haven’t even updated to 2.3. Hehe
You seem happy about the tagging support for Windows Live Writer, I assume that you’re using it? Btw, thanks for dropping by. :)

AWw labas na ang 2.3.1 ng WP
Yay! Tagging support for Windows Live Writer
