I hope I didn't come across too hard on them - I agree, they've been pretty responsive on user requests. (hmm, wondering if the WLW team is on Twitter...) Thanks WLW team! Tweet you later, Rick Steven, you’re right on the money. I hope I didn’t come across too hard on them – I agree, they’ve been pretty responsive on user requests.

Thanks WLW team!

I've customized the HTML for the "Insert Tags" feature and was greatfull to be able to do that. But the HTML that it inserts into the post still has a custom "div class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"..." statement that I always have to delete before posting. My blog's CSS has a "p.tags" class that formats the tags line in the post. I would like to find a way to get rid of the "div" statement mentioned above. 2.) I've just upgraded to beta3 just yesterday and have not had a chance to give it a fair appraisal. I've read about the XHTML changes and anticipate that it will help out. I appologize a bit for the ragging on XHTML in my post before reading the updates/changes for beta3 - it deserves a fair shake. :) Overall I'm <em>very</em> happy with WLW, but think having more complete control of these individual sections would be of help to me. Thanks, Rick Charles, thanks for stopping by and letting me know that you’re interested – it means a lot.

I have a couple of questions for you: 1) Regarding the tagging feature, I am thinking that you should be able to completely control the HTML that we generate. Try hitting insert tags, selecting customizing providers, then selecting Technorati, and hitting 'Edit'. This will bring up a dialog that lets youy completely customize the HTML that we generate (you can even attached you css so you automatically get the right look and feel). If you're already using this, what additional control would you like? 2) Regarding the XHTML support, now that we've added a version of this in Beta 3, do you still see problems in our implementation/choices? Thanks again for the thoughtful post! Best, Charles Hey Rick,
