You'd have tens of thousands of downloads if people realized this was kind of a macro thing. There are so many LW plugins with text in the title and /or template in the title, most browsers wouldn't realize that this one does something unique.

Good stuff - however inserting from HTML mode only inputs open and close paragraph html markup. The code <!--adsense--> does not go in unless I am in HTML view.

Very well done , just not useful for myself at this time. I can see how it may be useful to others though.

Thanks for creating this plugin. When I first started using Windows Live Writer with beta 1, I was using a freeform database, another beta, AzzCardFile v4, actually, to keep track of my code snippets and items that your Text Template plugin handles ever so well! I have about 30 items, and that's right now -- I will be adding more -- in Text Template. Things such as a custom look for adding Technorati Tags, a "fingerprint" I embed in every post, code snippets for AdSense, coding for other ads, and, more importantly, commonly used references that I point people to on my site and other sites. Because of the forethought you had in designing the Text Template plugin, I have everything sorted by category, then every item has a title, and a simple double-click gets the stuff added in no time. Thanks again for this great plugin! Keep up the great work! I will be writing a review of WLW soon, and in that review, will be talking about plugins. While I won't knock any plugins, I will be discussing ones I use, ones I tested, and ones I will be strongly suggesting for those who I help get started blogging. Text Template will be one of those with a high rating and with high praise. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Dave J. (Scoop0901) blog.scoop0901.net/ sleep.scoop0901.net and come 2008, a bunch of volunteers will be using it to help maintain our soon-to-be-launched revamped site, a CMS-based site, at AwakeInAmerica.org.

I love this plugin and haven't had any issues with it except that I can't add an icon to my templates Tessa

This plugin has a lot of nice features: for instance, text templates can be named, categorized and assigned an icon. The display of text templates can be sorted in various ways or even filtered by title or category. The plugin is marred by some usability problems when editing a template: return closes the entry dialog, scroll bars never appear and the window can't be resized. Finally. if it supported macro arguments, you could use it to easily enter a ton of different video embed codes, flash codes, javascript codes, etc. These are usually text templates which need to be customized in only a few places. Even for normal HTML, the ability to replace portions of the template would be handy.

If your template starts with an HTML comment (like <!-- adsense -->, etc) then WLW will strip it off on insert. I've confirmed the template & comment are being passed to WLW correctly, so it appears to be WLW that is doing the comment removal. There's an easy work around to fix this though. But a character, nearly any character (except normal spaces) at the beginning of the template. For example, put a "&nbsp;" and then the "<!--adsense-->" comment and now the template (and comment) will successfully insert. I'll work up a way to auto-magically resolve this, by looking at the template to be submitted and if it begins with a comment, automatically insert a ndsp (or something like that). Keep an eye on the CodePlex page for this project for future updates on this issue. http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=wlwTextTemplate Thanks for the heads-up on this...
