UPDATE: Windows Live Writer Beta 2 now includes a good solution for more. So the ‘more tag’ is kind of redundant. It was a great solution while it lasted but I’ve now turned it off and just use the built-in solution from WLW. END UPDATE

I have always struggled with Windows Live Writer and the ‘more tag’. Now a plug-in by ‘for the life of Jon’ may have an answer. You simply download his plugin, activate it and then insert a short-hand version of the ‘more’ tag and voila. The more tag is placed in Wordpress. It also suppresses the short-hand ‘more’ tag in your post so it isn’t seen in the browser.

This seems to be a simple yet effective solution. Why did it take me so long to find it?!

It seems to be working, and if my experience is correct, it also seems you can retrieve the post from the Wordpress blog through Windows Live Writer and it seems to grab the whole post. Previously it seems only to grab the part of the post before the ‘more’ tag. Mind you, I haven’t really been testing this in any consistent way, but if this does work it will be very handy for undertaking major editing of existing posts (minor edits can be done with another neat little plug in called edit’n'place.)
