Setting the trackback URL from Live Writer

Proposed Answer Setting the trackback URL from Live Writer

    Is there a way to set the trackback URL for wp blogs from within the Live Writer?

    I know the ATOM publishing protocol doesn't support this, but wasn't sure if the Live Writer has some other hooks in place for this?

    If you are on a blog that supports this feature, you can hit F2 and look near the bottom of the main window of Windows Live Writer.

    I tried -- There's nothing but "Set Category" and Status Bar at near the bottom after hit F2 .

    I am using Build 14.0.8074.206en

    Yea, unfortunately WLW currently doesn't support setting the trackback URL for Live Space blogs. :-(

    It's actually not Live Writer that has the problem. The problem in this case is Windows Live Spaces actually sucks quite a bit in terms of functionality that it offers. Writer can only support what it's given from the blog provider.
