Almost half a year ago I’ve release the first version of the Imtech SEO Slugs Windows Live Writer Plugin. Using the selected text the plugin generates a Search Engine Optimized slug for your post by removing all the noise words. By default slugs are being generated using the post’s title which usually doesn’t contain any HTML markup. There might be situations however when you would like to generate a slug using some text in the body instead.

Via Myo Kyaw Htun.com: after installing the Windows Live Writer for the first time I thought that I missed some options when the interface turned to be in Dutch.

If you are a .NET developer and blog about your challenges using Windows Live Writer this plugin is definitely for you.  What it does is it picks up the selected text and creates automatically a link to the right page at the on-line MSDN reference.

Reading the Windows Live Writer wish list forum I have stumbled upon a request for a Word Count plugin. As the request has been done quite a while ago and there hasn't been any response yet I have decided to make one myself. As the solution wasn't that difficult I was able to stuff making it between work and personal stuff.
