Alvin Ashcraft's Morning Dew

 

Please let me know if you find any issues with today’s links. I wrote a plug-in for Windows Live Writer the other night to generate the links from my Google Reader starred items Atom feed. This is the first post created using the plug-in. I’ll be putting the code up on CodePlex after I clean it up a bit and make it more generic and re-usable.
