New Windows Live Writer Plugins

Quick on the heels of the updated Windows Live Essentials software suite comes three very nifty plugins for my favorite blogging software (and yours as well I hope):

Digg This

Add a DiggThis badge to let visitors Digg your post. Choose your desired style and alignment in the options menu.

Twitter Notify

Send a Tweet announcing your newly published blog post. A shortened link to your post is automatically generated through the TinyURL service. Customize your default message in the options menu.

I am so glad this plug in is out – ever since my Twitter Wordpress plugin stopped working I have been tweeting my updates manually – well not any more!

Flickr Upload

Insert an inline image into your post that gets uploaded to your Flickr account. Visitors who click on the inline image get taken to your Flickr photostream.

Zemanta Windows Live Writer Plugin Debuts

Zemanta has released a plugin for Windows Live Writer that helps you add instant links, pictures, tags and a whole lot more to your posts written in Windows Live Writer.  As I watch the plugin in my sidebar it is waiting for me to write at least 300 words before it starts offering suggestions for those links and photos.

As I sit here and wait for Zemanta to retrieve those links and pictures it is not happening.  Maybe I should not have expected this plug in to find info about itself?

So at this point I am disappointed that the plugin seems to be locked up.  I will have to blog about a different subject and see if that goes any better.
