Installation
The publishing URL for creating a Windows Live Writer account for the blog module provider at metaPost.itcrossing.com is as follows:
http://metapost.itcrossing.com/metapost.ashx?key=faqs
The FAQ provider is the only provider which doesn't support the automatic downloading of the site styles and template. The FAQ module doesn't show the answer until the user selects the question, so Windows Live Writer isn't able to "see" it's test post. There is a workaround, though.
Add the following to the end of the Question Template in the FAQ settings before you configure your FAQ account in Windows Live Writer. This will cause the FAQ module to temporarily show the answer in the page.
</a><div Class="Normal" Style="padding: 5px;"><b>Answer:</b> [ANSWER]</div><a href="tempstyle">
After you've created the WLW account, just remove the HTML you added. Also be sure to set the cache to 0 before pointing WLW to the FAQ module.
Finally, the Professional Edition features, such as the auto image gallery will not work with the FAQs module set to use AJAX. It's also better for the SEO of your page not to use AJAX, since this hides the AJAX content from the search engines. To make this change, simply uncheck the AJAX checkbox in the module settings page as follows:
