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?
