Windows Live Writer programming is a pain.

3 reasons:

1. Most of the examples out there are written in C#.
2. You can’t manipulate your post html source directly.
3. The SmartContentSource.GeneratePublishHtml Method insists on wrapping DIV tags around everything.

Sure, there are workarounds, particularly by using the ScottIsAFool.WriterUtilities, but it mightily peeves me that Windows Live Writer is difficult to write for.
