It's fun and easy to make blog posts from Windows Live Writer. Now is supports a wide range of popular blogging platforms including WordPress 2.3. However the support to post tags while blogging is not enabled by default. Wordpress 2.3 has built in tag support similar as Ultimate Tag Warrior Plugin for wordpress. There are something needed to be done to enable the support to add tags while you post blog entries from Windows Live Writer.
Windows Live Writer (WLW) uses an XML manifest file to determine what features a blog supports. By default it does a good job supporting WordPress without a manifest file, but that doesn't include support to mt_keywords (tagging) in XML-RPC methods. The included manifest file turns on tagging support in WLW.

Few days before i was copying some files from my friends SONY M2 memory card and bam i've been hit by a Trojan, it was silently sitting on the memory card. the file name is Flash.exe and it creates a autorun.inf file in your memory card and any usb disk you put into your computer will be infected by it. It keeps running on the memory and it will disable your Task Manager, Command Prompt and Registry Editor. Well these are the tools you need to use to get rid of the trojan virus. I've cleaned my system with Kaspersky Antivirus Pro 7 and still i was not able to use command prompt or regedit. Here are the things you need to do after cleaning the Trojan Virus.

cFos Traffic Shaping reduces delays during data transfer and allows you to surf the Internet up to three times faster. So you can use the full bandwidth of your connection!
During TCP/IP transfer, a certain amount of data needs to be confirmed upon reception before more can be sent. Stalling data confirmation results in delays and transfer-rate slowdowns, thus forcing the sender to wait. Especially for DSL and cable, it is possible to slow a download to a crawl by choking the upstream channel (which has the smaller bandwidth anyway) with an upload. This is because in such a scenario there is not enough upstream bandwidth left for data confirmation.
The standard solution so far has been to try and compensate for this by increasing TCP window size, thereby allowing more data to be sent without immediate confirmation. The main problem here is that this also leads to high ping times (latency) and significant delays during Webpage rendering. Latency of up to 2 seconds is not uncommon for TCP windows with a size of 64k. In short, huge window sizes just won�t let you achieve full download speed.
