Trying to Post from Word

I’m trying out the newest version of Word (2010) which has a blog posting feature. I was able to register my WordPress blog and now I’m trying a test post.

It’s the Little Things

My Google Apps for Domains account finally has GMail themes! I love my GMail account (especially through GAD), but I was tired of seeing the plain old email interface. My main GMail account has had themes for quite some time now and I got used to them, so having it on my GAD accounts seals
