Mikkel at blog.detersmart.dk has modified and posted a version of the QuickPost plugin that supports tags and provides the ability to disable comments. I am testing it now with this post. If all checks out, I will merge the changes (I had a few unpublished changes in my tree) and publish it out. Thanks a ton Mikkel. If anyone else has changes they’d like merged into the trunk, feel free to pass them along.
In the meantime, you can get Mikkel’s version here: QuickPost for Wordpress with tags and the option to disable comments at blog.detersmart.dk
