ScottIsAFool wrote a wonderful WLW plugin he calls the Insert Placeholder plugin. It can be found here: http://groups.msn.com/windowslivewriter/generaltopics.msnw?action=get_message&mview=1&ID_Message=5698
The plugin allows you to include text you want to appear in your blog entry that you don't want WLW to munge or to interpret while you are editing. The example Scott uses is adSense javascript code, but it also works for any HTML type code that you want to protect from the WYSIWYG munger.
For the example below I entered the regular characters into the Writer Editor box and the HTML entities into the blog entry box. As a note, I could have also entered the HTML entities into the Writer Editor box - the plugin protects the HTML entities from the WYSIWYG munger. The advantage of doing this is that you can see what the HTML entities will look like in the posted entry prior to publishing.
The one negative with the plugin is that it forces the blog text onto its own line, so you can't use it to embed inline HTML within a sentence. Still, it is a great plugin for what most people would want to use it for.
