It's okay
Compatiability issues (25/05/2009)
I think the problem is that the WLW version some of us have -- 14.0.8050.1202 -- is different than than the one required, per the developer, 14.0.8064.206. Not sure why that is. Does anyone know?

Great plugin (16/05/2009)
I tested several cross-posting plugins, and this one came out tops. It works every time, allows me to control which blogs I want to cross-post to and is easy to use and understand. Love it.

Installed but nothing showed up (21/04/2009)
I looked every where in WLW but nothing found for ping.fm. Tried to submit a post also nothing appeared in Ping.fm recent posts. Also uninstalled and reinstalled, didn't help. Any idea someone?

Just tried it and liked it (17/05/2009)
I just tried this plugin and liked it quite a bit. I would like the ability to put the republished text in blockquotes. Is this currently possible? Couldn't quite tell based on the options provide or the info provided. Also, what is Ping.fm and why is that useful or needed with this plugin? How are others using it?
