DotNetKicks Plugin for WordPress and Live Writer
November 27th, 2007 by Rémy Blättler
This is exactly what I was waiting for. A plugin into Windows Live Writer that creates a DotNetKicks Button. Lucky for me it works together with WordPress.
It was developed by Aaron Lerch.
A little review:
Installation was a breeze, no issues with WordPress or with Live Writer (I’m using the 2008 Final Version on Vista). Adding the Button is a easy too. In fact, I used it for this post.
Since I was already working on this topic, if figured I give the Digg This plugin a try too.

Installation was no issue either. Unfortunately, neither the title, the text or the topic did get submitted to Digg. And the appearance was not set to Compact either. The problem is WordPress:
<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- digg_url = \'http://remy.supertext.ch/\'; digg_title = \'DotNetKicks Plugin for WordPress\'; digg_bodytext = \'This is cool.\'; digg_topic = \'programming\'; digg_skin = \'compact\'; //--></script>
As one can see, WordPress adds the “\” to the Javascript code, which might not exactly help. But what does help, is if you use Text Control and set the “Format this post with: No Formatting” option.
