Tumblr support in Live Writer
I'd really like to see support for Tumblr integrated into LiveWriter, including the use of tags. Should be fairly simple as Tumblr has an API for third-party clients.
I’m optimistic

I would say that given tumblr's popularity, it makes more sense to implement the (new, and hugely improved) tumblr API than it does to hope for them to change. It really wouldn't be all that hard.

Inappropriate?unfortunately tumblr's API isn't a standard blogging API (not sure why they didn't implement one of the existing ones), but you could write a plugin that takes the content an posts it to a Tumblr post after it posts to a blog...

Why not start working on a standard blogging API? I am sure it will benefit a lot for Tumblr users like me.
And what a plugin would be ? What service or program will it work with the plugin you talked about? -
Oh, also I would love to see Tumblr plugin or whatever it is to Flock's blogging feature. That would be great. I already mentioned that to Flock a while ago. But since you already mentioned that Tumblr does not have standard API. That is probably why it is not in in any blogging editors. Hopefully one day Tumblr will work on it.

Inappropriate?I have looked at the plugin API and there really isn't a way to do this without having a "second" blog that you are posting too first - which is not ideal. I understand that Microsoft isn't interested in supporting another non-standard API but it would be nice if as an developer I could override the publish behaviour and just let live writer manage the content development.
The tumblr API is non-standard because tumblr's goal is to keep things simple. The tumblr API is probably one of the simplest APIs in teh Web 2.0 space and would be really easy for me to support as a plugin if I could just get a place in the API to hook.
I’m frustrated

I don't care for Microsoft, but it would be nice for open source blogging editors. I see there are several editors out there. I wonder if there are open source editor can do non-standard API?
