Windows Live Gallery Error

Something I should have mentioned in my previous entry, but forgot was that you might get an error when going to Windows Live Gallery from a link to one of my plugins. The reason I have put this as a separate entry is to allow for this helper entry to be easily linked to if need be. Now, the reason for this error is, in my opinion, shockingly bad programming by the Live Gallery people. Basically, if you're browser is not setup to give out the EN-US market, then Live Gallery just hides the Windows Live Writer section. The only way round this is to get your browser to give out the US market as its default market. This problem only affects Internet Explorer users, for Firefox users, you should have no problem.

Go to Tools > Internet Options, this will give you the following window:
 

Click on the Languages button, and this will give you this screen:
 

If you don't have it set like the above screenshot, then just click on Add, then scroll down to the English (United States) [en-US] option, add it, then move it to the top. Then just refresh Windows Live Gallery.
