  Mike, About the MSDN re-design: I like the new look in every respect except one. On the old site, you could easily tell when you guys had a new blog post because the latest blog headlines appeared underneath each of your "cartoons". On this new site, I have to click into each profile to see if there's a new blog post. It's a bit of a minor annoyance, that's all. James

  Hi James. I agree :). Not sure whether that was a factor of the re-design or the need to free up some space now there are 4 of us on there. I'll feed it back though. Thanks! Mike
