## Description

Have you ever looked at the RSS feed and seen an entry that you didn’t recognize
staring you back in the face?

Temporary Post Used For Theme Detection (aaaa0000-abcd-1234-4321-a1b2c3d4e5f6 – 
xxxxxxxx-aaaa-2222-aaaa-a1b2c3d4e5f6)

Temporary what? I don’t see this post on my live site! What is it??

If you’re a user of Windows Live Writer (which, by the way is an EXCELLENT wysiwyg
for blogging), then the answer is right
 in front of you.

Windows Live Writer, in order to give the best quality possible, needs to detect
the theme information for your blog. The
 way it does this is to create a temporary
blog post, read it really quick, then delete it again right away. The problem is,
sometimes the posts don’t get deleted. Worse yet, they may be picked up by RSS readers
or indexed by an external source (feedburner, anyone?) before it manages to be deleted.

So while it needs to be done, it can also be a pain in the backside.

Live Writer Stealth solves this issue. It’s a simple plug-in just to filter out 
posts from your live blog and RSS feeds that
 match the format of the Windows Live
Writer detection messages. This doesn’t break the functionality of WLW, because 
this filter is only applied if you are not signed in as an admin and using Windows
Live Writer. Users and RSS viewers, however, will be none-the-wiser.

## Installation

 1. Upload the whole Live Writer Stealth directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

  What versions does this plug-in work for?

We’ve only tested it in WordPress 3.0+

  How does it work?

We just add a filter to remove any of these posts from the prying eyes of users,
search engines, and RSS feeds.

  Where can I get it?

You can download it from the Code Lizard website http://www.codelizard.com in the
download section.
