ASP.NET Live Writer

This plugin for windows live writer called "Insert Code", lets you do this:

This rocks, cause it means those of us that are lazy and want to copy/paste code from blogs can continue to be lazy.

It also means searches on code will work better too.

Update: to get live writer working with Asp.Net blogs:

- Choose "Community Server" as your provider

- Change the posting URL to be: http://weblogs.asp.net/metablog.ashx

Very nice.

I have already used the live writer in another blog with another plug-in, but I'm having problems when trying to connect to this blog system (community server) using live writer. Do you use live writer here?

Yep. It broke between versions, though.

Make sure you choose Community Server as your provider, and then change the posting url to be http://weblogs.asp.net/metablog.ashx
