It seems that my Office UI Bible post is very popular. First, Ed Bott blogged about it. Then Jensen Harris adopted my categorization of his blog as his official index. The post has until today been hit 3,390 times according to my website statistics, making it my second most popular blog post (the most popular blog post is my B2TR issues one with 12,725 hits). Add to those hits 879 views via RSS.

Today though, I got my by biggest surprise about the popularity of this post, when I got my mail. In the mail was the latest issue of eWeek (November 27, 2006. Vol. 23, No. 47). The cover, as you can see below (the black spot is where my address had been printed), announced prominently an Office 2007 review.

I went ahead and read it, and then came upon the first column about it: Jim Rapoza’s column titled “Office 2007 - nothing new” on page 46, which is interestingly titled “Office 2007 - Something New” in its web edition. If you are interested in the column, but can’t read it in the scan below, just read the online version.

I read the column, and then there was this box with WWWeb Resources. Take a look at the box for yourself:

I couldn’t believe my eyes. There, in a printed computer magazine, was a link to a blog post of mine! And better yet, it was listed before the link to the Office test drive!

That definitely made my day! Jim, thank you very much for that link.

P.S.: This blog has been quiet on the RibbonX front for a while. The reason is that I have been gearing up for the launch of my RibbonCustomizer add-in. I am happy to announce that its launch will be on Thursday coinciding with the Office 2007 launch. The Professional version will be available then for $29.99.
