There are some real cool plugins out for it already. I wanted a plugin that I could save snippets or templates of text that I could reuse. So here is the first release of TemplateForWriter. I put together a real quick page for it with the rest of my projects. Feel free to leave me any suggestions in the comments of this post.

How to create your own plugin

A great resource for creating your own plugin is Keyvan Nayyeri’s post where he writes a plugin to insert tags for Technorati. You will need the Live Writer SDK before you get started. The SDK includes a good help file and 2 examples for creating plugins. You can also check out some source code on some open source plugins.

Where can I get more plugins?

Some places I found that had quite a bit of content were http://wlwplugins.com/, Live Writer Plugins on Codeplex, and Microsoft’s gallery of plugins. I really like the Flickr4Writer plugin which makes it really easy to add in pictures from my flickr account.
