Windows Live Writer, problem setting it to work with a just created Windows Live Space account

I have just created a Windows Live Spaces at http://guerchele.spaces.live.com/ but when I try to configure it at Windows Live Writer, a message box titled "Login failed" pops up. I am sure the address is correct because if I click "View Weblog" link, my space opens in Internet Explorer without any problem and I carefully typed both username and password. Well, I guess it is a bug which occurs with Widows Live Space accounts just created. Anyway, it is a beta software, right?

Howto: Tagging with Windows Live Writer?

Community Server, the engine used at http://weblogs.asp.net/, allows for tagging posts. I saw the keywords at post properties, but they are disabled. Is these keywords the same as the tagging feature of Community Server? If so, why are they disabled? May I have configured anything wrong?
Another missing feature in Windows Live Writer

Just figured out that when I posted dbo.PartitionLeft, dbo.PartitionRight and dbo.Partition using blog's web interface, the code copied from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and pasted to the post came coloured. Tried the same, that is, copied code in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and pasted it into Windows Live Writer, but, unfortunately, code haven't kept its colouring format. Haven't tried, but I guess the same is true for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.

First post using Windows Live Writer

Just downloaded and installed Windows Live Writer and that's my first post using it. Using it, some questions raised:

  1. Does anybody know how to integrate it with NewsCrawler, FeedDaemon, RSS Bandit, etc? I've once configured w.bloggar to work with such RSS readers and guess Windows Live Writer integration with such tools might be quite similar to the way w.bloggar integrates with them.
  2. Uploading photos to a ftp server is good, but what about uploading photos to Flickr.com or just referencing photos already hosted there? It would be a plus for me. What do you think about?
  3. I also have problems with maps. They haven't worked for me. And, hey, where are Google Maps? VirtualEarth is good, but Google Maps should have their place inside too.
  4. What about about Format > Align > Justify? So far, I have done it through HTML tweaking.
