If you're a developer who's been itching to make a dent, consider writing a plugin for Windows Live Writer. There are now a ton of users who are looking for plugins that help them put rich content into their blog- Writer, its SDK, and your plugin will let them do it.
We just launched the Writer DevZone, a blog that is targeted primarily at developers who are extending Windows Live Writer using the SDK. In addition, we're going to be rolling out a section on the Windows Live Gallery for Writer plugins, and we're looking for early submissions from developers who would like their work distributed that way.
I have a whole raft of ideas for great plugins (and so do all the Writer users). Some of the plugins that seem in demand (to me) are:
- 'Insert Movie (IMDB?)'
- 'Insert Amazon Product'
- 'Insert YouTube Video'
- 'Insert EBay Item'
- 'Insert Album' (maybe use MSN Music?)
If you want to bite one of these off- get out Visual Studio, download the SDK, and get your submission ready!
