Adding Related Blog Post Links inside Posts in Windows Live Writer

Now you can add related blog posts’ links directly inside your new post body in windows live writer. This saves you time of manually searching the posts and creating a link to it. Previously I used site:snaphow.com in google to find similar posts to link to. But now I will be using this plugin to find post to create links to from my new posts.

Find, Create Related Post Links in Windows Live Writer

Newbtech.com wrote this new plugin code which will allow you to have control over inserting related posts from your WordPress blog directly from within Windows Live Writer.

It is quite easy to use and will add directly into the post wherever the cursor is. Once configured, it can retrieve all the posts from your hosted WordPress blog and allow you to select one or more posts and inserts into the post.

Using "Related Posts" Plugin for Windows Live Writer

Step 1 : Download the Plugin files (Click Here)
Step 2 : Place both the files in you WLW Plugin Folder

Step 3 : Start Windows Live Writer. (Restart if it was open)
Step 4 : Write a post. To add links click Insert > Related Posts (WordPress…)

Step 5 : For the first time use. Click Settings and add you login details. Click Ok.

Step 6 : Now to add posts’ links. Click on Retrieve Posts will fetch all the posts from your blog. If your blog has lot of posts, it will take some time until all posts are retrieved. You can select one or multiple posts and then Click on Insert it into Post.

** This plugin crashes with my version of WLW. But it works fine with the latest Live Writer 2011. You can see the full screenshot (above) posted at LifeRocks2.0.
Nice Plugin… But since it retrieves all the posts its better to find the links from the Archives page if you have set up one. (See : Creating an Archive Index). or use the "site:snaphow.com in google" method.
