But this time, it’s a public release! Head on over to the Microsoft IE7 page if you’re interested in downloading the beta 2 preview. You might also be interested in checking out the feature table even if you don’t want to download.
But there’s one catch: IE7 Beta 2 Preview will only run on Windows XP Service Pack 2.
I am convinced that my WordPress installation is half WordPress 1.5 and half WordPress 2.0. As detailed previously, I had a bit of trouble upgrading to WordPress 2.0. Besides the fact that my theme has a functions.php file now, the main thing I have noticed is that my Quicktags toolbar has changed. That’s the post composition toolbar that has links to common HTML tags.
First of all, the “b” button used to be called “strong,” and the “i” button used to be called “em.” In addition, I don’t remember the “del,” the “ins,” the “more,” or the “lookup” buttons being there. But I’m glad those new buttons are there. Cool stuff.
I have to give credit to WordPress. Even though it’s a half-upgraded installation, it still works.

But why did they have to make the logo shapes asymmetrical? Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to get used to it.
FeedBurner recently released FeedFlare Phase 2. FeedFlares are links that allow blog readers to, in short, do stuff with blog posts, such as email the post to others or find Technorati links for that post. Phase 1 allowed FeedFlare links on XML feeds, and now Phase 2 allows FeedFlare links on blog posts themselves.
At first I put the FeedFlares at the bottom of my post and got all excited. “Wow, that’s awesome.” Then I wanted to tinker with it. I didn’t like those bullet points between the links and wanted to replace them with pipes, ala WordPress style.
However, the FeedFlare code that I’m supposed to put in my blog template is JavaScript, so I can’t customize the HTML directly. Hmm… that means “some CSS modification required.” Well, that’s okey-dokey with me, but this looks like CSS3 modification required, which I am quite certain will not work with Internet Explorer. Though Mozilla Firefox is superior in my opinion, Internet Explorer is what most people use. In addition, the FeedFlares are wrapped around a <p> tag, which will not be ideal for some cases in which I want to use the FeedFlares.
I finally got fed up with FeedFlare and made my own links. 
Things like “email this post” or “add to del.icio.us” are easy to do. Check my links out at the bottom of this post (assuming you’re reading this post directly at the site). And I recommend you also avoid FeedFlare unless you’re happy with how it looks, you’re willing to use some CSS3, or if HTML to you stands for “Hard To Me, it Looks.”

Okay Uncle Sam, then why did we have this huge snowstorm last week? 
Hmm… snow hurricanes?
