Comment if you read Tip of the Day!

Writing tip of the day is *really* time consuming.  So, today's extra post is a "go sara go" post.  If you like Tip of the Day, please just leave me a quick comment, even if it is just "go sara go".  I really, really helps me keep going when I get emails and comments that people like what they are reading.  (and of course, i'm open to suggestions on what tips to write, provided they are related to the IDE).

and of course, you can always just contact me directly.

Thanks!

  Looks like you have quite a few readers! I always read your tips via the RSS, they are quite usefull.  I even pass some of them around the office.  When i do, people always comment on how much stuff is inside VS that they never come across. If it is quite hard, maybe you could have a little section where people can make suggestions on possible tips for you? oh btw, Go Sara Go.

  Mubbashir:  yeah, i loved posting to my software testing feed, but unfortunately, i stopped once i became a program manager.  but who knows... maybe i'll find some topics to blog about over time. Adam:  Back in the VS 2005 tip of the week era, i had a "submit a tip" link at the bottom of each tip.  Even though I had a 100 tips there, I only got 2 tips ever.  Maybe a better way to run a tip of the day series is via some sort of Wiki?
