With B2TR out of the door, Office 2007 is at a point where any kind of documentation should be stable and applicable to the final product. B2TR however brought one final revision of the Ribbon UI and RibbonX. Due to that, all examples, screenshots and add-ins posted on my add-in are outdated. I took the opportunity and started an overhaul of my website:

1. The normal and comment RSS feeds are now redirected through FeedBurner. This will allow me to finally know how many of you are subscribing to my blog via RSS.
2. I placed RSS icons in prominent spots across my page in the hope that this will get me more subscribers. The links to the RSS feeds were buried at the bottom of my page previously.
3. If you would like to subscribe to my blog via email, you can do this now too.
4. I submitted my blog to Technorati.
5. I reduced the number of blog posts that appear on one page, as the pages got rather crowded and long.
6. My B2TR issues blog post is very popular. To make sure everyone visiting my website can easily find it, there is now a link to it on the top of my page. This link will stay there until RTM.
7. The sidebar has been slightly changed as well. I reduced the number of blog categories and blog months shown there to make it less crowded. In addition, I introduced two sub-points for Office 2007 and highlighted the Office 2007 items
8. There are a number of new and changed pages that have basically no content on them right now (Customize Office 2007, RibbonX, OneNote 2007, Office 2007).
9. I fixed a number of CSS-related issues. The page should now render fine and almost the same way in IE6, IE7, Firefox and Opera. Thanks a lot to FrontPage MVPs Cheryl Wise and Murray Summers, as well as Windsun for their fantastic help (gross understatement, they told me what to do, I followed their instructions) with this in the Expression Web MS newsgroup.

What can you expect from this website and blog going forward?

1. I started my blog to talk about the Office 2007 UI and customizing it. Over time, it ended up becoming a mix of topics, which it will continue to be. Some will be more personal in nature (such as my friend’s cool wireless device or my hard drive upgrade story). Some will be news (such as the release of B2TR). Some will talk about Office 2007 in general. Some will talk about OneNote 2007 specifically. And last, but not least, some will be about customizing Office 2007 and RibbonX.
2. If you are new to customizing Office 2007 and RibbonX, my blog is not the best guide to learning it. The RibbonX posts are not really linear in order, nor is it easy to find the posts that you should start reading with. If you are using this blog as a reference, then it is equally hard to find your away around. Posting the content as a blog though makes it easy for me to write the content (as I can do that in OneNote) and it makes it easier for you to not miss anything new. In order to improve the navigation of previous posts though, the Customize Office 2007 page will become the starting point for anyone interested in the topic. I will provide links to all blog posts related to that topic on that page. Everything RibbonX will be linked to from the RibbonX page. So whether you are looking for a getting started guide on RibbonX, a RibbonX reference or just a list of add-ins you can use to customize Office 2007, that section of my website will get you to what you are looking for quickly. I hope this new organization structure will make your life easier on my website.
3. Over the coming weeks, I will repost all relevant customization blog posts with updated content, examples and B2TR screenshots taken under Vista. As I repost them, I’ll integrate them into the new organization structure. I will also make sure that all posts are fully accessible. Some of my earlier posts are not, as alternate titles for images are missing.
4. I am fairly active in the Microsoft community newsgroups. A side effect of that is that I often end up giving the same answer multiple times. From now on, whenever I think that a particular answer I gave would be helpful for a lot of people, I’ll convert it into a blog post and integrate it into the relevant Office 2007 page on my site.
5. I love OneNote. Hence I’ll be featuring OneNote specific posts on my blog going forward.

Let me know what you think all of this by commenting on this post. Also, let me know if there is any specific content you’d like me to blog about in the future.
