This is just a quick test post written using the new Windows Live Writer beta. As I’m writing this, I’m looking at a WYSIWYG view of pretty much what my post will look like on the site – Complete with CSS styles etc applied. Seems pretty funky and so far is much nicer to use than the WordPress built-in editor.
This morning I realised my Outlook PST files had not been backed up since I upgraded to Outlook/Office 2007. It seems that the backup addin stops working after an upgrade. A quick Google search led me to this information: Here’s how to get the free Personal Folders Backup tool from Microsoft installed and working in Outlook 2007: Download the pfbackup.exe file.

I’ve just upgraded to Outlook 2007 and while I mostly like the new interface, I’ve come across something that bugs me… In previous Outlook versions, I’ve always modified the toolbar to add a button for “Next Item in Conversation Topic”. This option allows you to easily follow threads on mailing lists or private email conversations.
