First, go in the administration under Tools - Tools. Find at bottom the link you’re going to drag (drag and drop) on your bookmark toolbar (tested under Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome). Now when you navigate on the net, you can start writing an article very quickly.  Just select some text on source page, and press the button on the bookmark. Will open a new blog window with several pre-built camps.

If you need, you can create a custom button for bookmark with special needs. The call uses these parameters = http://myblog.com/wp-admin/press-this.php?u=&t=&s=

Live Messenger 2009 seems works fine, but i’m disappointed when minimize-it the contact list and it still appear on Super TaskBar. I’ve found a little work-around. Exit from Live Messenger, go to your C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger and find the file msnmsgr.exe.

Right click on mouse and choose Properties, go to tab Compatibility and check “Run this program in compatibility for“. From dropdown menu choose Windows Vista.

Now start your Live Messenger and try to minimize, the old msn icon should appear on TrayBar. Last but non last, the icon disappear after a while because go to “hidden icons” group for inactivity. If you want to pin in TrayBar simply choose “Customize” from “Show Hidden Icons” and switch the Live Messenger from “Only show notifications” to “Show icon and notifications“
