[Emacsweblogs] Added Wordpress tags and excerpt to weblogger 1.4.4

[Aaron Hammitt]

Hello,

I am new to this list and new to weblogger.el. I've used Emacs for a while but am just learning elisp. Anyway, I was a little annoyed by the lack of support for tags and excerpts. After looking through the code I made enough sense of it to get the tags and excerpts working (using mt_keywords and mt_excerpts, and associating them with the "Keywords" and "Summary" fields, respectively).

These are the changes I made:

This works quite nicely for my with Emacs 23.1 and Wordpress, since I don't care too much about categories (I just use tags and don't bother with categories).

I now see that you have put out a new version, and are using "Summary" for tags and "Keywords" for categories (and nothing for excerpts). I'm debating whether to stick with my patched version or try to stick with the developed version. What am I missing by sticking with 1.4.4?

Also, when using C-c C-n or C-c C-p to go through my messages, it seemed to "unpublish" them by turning them into drafts. Is there a way around this, or am I doing something wrong?
