Firefox 2.0 has been released ! I was already running RC3 and without even noticing it went to 2.0 ;). Very nice improvement, I already wrote about it in a previous post. There are also a bunch of new banners and buttons available, like the one below, to put on your site and/or blog at the affliates page.
Jan Pronk has become a Persona Non Grata in Sudan, thanks to his blog ;). This goes to show how powerful blogging has become, when governments are afraid of the opinions expressed in blogs !
Expel UN envoy, Sudan army says
It's now available on yahoo (so you get all the yahoo 'extra's', like the toolbar etc). And it will be availble without it (I hope ;)) from microsoft at the Microsoft IE site. If it's like IE7 in Vista, it's a lot better than IE6 (and it should be), though it has some really odd interface quirks. Firefox has a way more logical interface I think.
Their 2.0 release is right around the corner !
The new version that can be found at http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/, does support Blogger Beta, using a workaround from http://jcheng.wordpress.com/2006/09/28/blogger-beta-workaround. Though livewriter says it can't retrieve my template. So you can use LiveWriter to post, but it's not as 'WYSYWYG' as it is, when you use say, Wordpress. This is more a Google fault i'd say, for not just using a standard method to allow posting and retrieving posts and categories.
Windows live writer is very nice though, much better than the standard blogger edit window. If you're posting from windows to your blog, you should definately check it out. Especially love the easy way you can now add technorati tags, something that cant be done through the blogger interface, unless you type out the technorati tags, which is a cumbersome process.
Update: A new build (145) now offers correct Blogger Beta support , it even retrieves the correct template.
