Windows Live Writer LIBXML2 Problem Solved

So, Brandon from the Windows Live Writer team got back to me super quick, thanks Brandon! He let me know that the problem I am encountering is actually because of the LIBXML2 XML parsing library stripping the opening “<” off code it parses. You can fix it by upgrading LIBXML2 on your server or install a plugin:

You can upgrade your libxml2 (on your server if you have control) as well WordPress, or you can install this plugin by one of the WordPress team members.

Then you should be back in business!

And sure enough, the plugin works a treat! Thanks Brandon (and Joseph for making it!)!
