Zi’s Blog

They are basically short (6-25mins) videos on various aspects of technology.

Have a look at Mike Taulty’s blog for all the different ways you can view MSDN nuggets.

I am using his ClickOnce application.

Good article on the MVP (Model View Presenter) pattern.

I just installed Office 2007 Beta 2 that I got from my PC Pro magazine.

It has taken me about 3mins to setup the “blog post” bit in word and I found it very simple!

Here is what I had to do:

1. Click on the round funny windows icon thing in the top left hand corner
2. Click new.
3. Select “new blog entry”.
4. A dialog box should pop up. Choose “Other” from the dropdown.
5. Enter user name and password details.
6. Leave the Api as Metaweblog.
7. PostURL is the url of your blog plus xmlrpc.php (for WordPress) so for me it was http://www.zimakki.com/blog/xmlrpc.php
8. Start blogging!

I have not had a look at attaching pics yet coz I need to go and eat!

Found a brilliant Word Press plugin here.

Basically does this kinda thing on pic.

One thing I did have to do to get it to work with the current theme (worked fine with default wordpress theme) is manually copy in the css and javascript links into the head section of the theme.

There must be a better way of doing this… I’ll write a blog once I find out.
