Enable tag support on Windows Live Writer and WordPress 2.3
Update: Joseph Scott has made a better manifest file.
As you may already know, Wordpress 2.3 will have built-in tag support and to enable tags on Windows Live Writer you have to upload a manifest file to your blog’s root.

With any luck we’ll be shipping a WLW manifest file with WordPress 2.3. I’m finishing up some items related to this right now.

Joseph: It’d be cool!
By the way, is there any plan to fix XMLRPC issues[1]?

Doesn’t look like it will make it into 2.3 after all, but you can get the files from this ticket:
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5023
Once 2.3 is out the door I plan to spend some time cleaning up XML-RPC, including the issues you brought up in that email.
