In my previous post I said I will soon be trying Windows Live Custom Domains and this weekend I managed to have a play with it and I like it! Now I have all my emails for this domain on Windows Live and I can access my email via the Hotmail website, Outlook (will get to that in a minute) and can also have my email showing on my Windows Live home page which was one of my wish list items for Windows Live a while back nice! I recently read on Lukas’s blogthe following: * “However their service…

When I first started blogging about the Windows Live family of products I initially was very general and then I developed an interest in Live Search, now I think I’ve covered Live Search quite a bit and I feel ready to jump onto the next thing. On my list of things to checkout in the Windows Live family next – Windows Live Gadgets (It’s about time I started playing with these) – Windows Live Domains So expect some blog posts about these in the next few weeks 🙂…
read more...More on Live Search
It looks like Microsoft is building another search engine? or perhaps revamping Live Search, not sure.But I guess we’ll see. I do have some thoughts about Live Search though and here they go. I don’t think the problem with Live Search is it’s algorithm or index or anything like that. I think it’s the culture around it! Those of you who read my blog would know that I’ve covered Live Search a lot and I like to think that I took a close look at it. IMHO, Live Search isn’t lacking in features…

I’ve been using Sauce Reader for reading all my feeds till now and I want to move on but can’t decide on what to use. What is everyone using out there. The only 2 annoying things with Sauce Reader were it’s a desktop thing so cant read all my feeds from anywhere without my computer, and a few crashes every now and then, other than that, I really liked using it. I know of several other replacements to Sauce Reader such as FeedDemon that I can try, but I was thinking of an online reader, and so…

I was going to write about this in the past before all the issues I had with my blog but it looks like it’s good I didn’t! It just got a loot easier. A couple of months ago I was trying to play with the MSN Search Web service to see if I can add search functionality to my site. I tried to do so by following this article, and my advice is, don’t! Back then I got a bit confused by it and it seemed that some info was missing. Also a lot of the components…

If this works then I’m back up and running again! Had a few blog issues since my (now deleted) Live Search Gadgets post, which screwed up my blog template for posting which in turn made Windows Live Writer unhappy. Now I’m upgraded to dasblog 1.9 and it will hopefully be all good! I look forward to more blogging soon.…

I’ve done a few modifications to the look and feel of my blog – hopefully to the better, and there’s still a bit more to come. Blog now has a new background colour and a reorganized andrearrangedright side, removed the Google/Amazon ads for now. They were cluttering the area I think, also added a little bio about myself and created a new feedburner feed. Please do subscribe to the new Feed Url : https://feeds.feedburner.com/DanDotNet I hope the changes are nice!…

I just noticed these two buttons when reading some emails in outlook, they magically appear on screen when you hover over the area where they are at! If you have a conversation with several emails going back an forth, you can go up and down based on the one being read, to see those buttons hover over the right corner side around the separator line between emails. I’ve only taken a screenshot of one direction, they also show ‘previous’ …etc Interesting idea, but why aren’t these always visible?…
