Doing More With…

I came across this blog posting a couple of days ago and I have to say that it is one of the best write-ups on Windows 7 features.  Tim’s post includes a number of hidden features and shows off some of the under the hood enhancements.

A few of the tips (and developments) that I really appreciate are the updates to the taskbar in side-mounted position, the ability to choose various presentation modes (via Win+P) and the ADD helper-like Win+Home combination that will minimize everything besides your active window.

Be sure to read through this one if you are currently running Windows 7.

There are also a number of plugins available that will let you embed online videos, set your blog post to a "Now Playing" tagline and much more.  The application also allows you to do offline blogging, so if you don’t have a hotspot handy and you need to get that thought off your brain…

As I have more of a chance put this app through it’s paces I will update my blog with an additional article.  I will be reviewing some of the available plugins and test the various formatting features.

As I am primarily using a hosted WP site, I am hoping to hear from some of you that have experience with it on the multitude of blogging platforms.

Send me a ping… Cheers, Bryan
