Author: Windows LIve is easier than ever to use.
This is another paragraph!!
Since my stock in trade is creating and modifying templates of all sorts, of course I have to deal with the various browsers and how my sites look in each.
Internet Explorer 7 drove developers insane until ways were found to trick it into performing closer to standards. So, “hacks” were applied to templates more often than not.
Now, Internet Explorer 8 is out and is more standards-compliant. (Yay!) So of course it breaks templates built for IE7. (Sigh.) To be fair, they did incorporate a “compatibility mode” button for users to click if the site they visit “looks funny”.
If you’ve looked at your website with IE8 and it needs compatibility mode, you can fix it so that your viewers don’t have to hit that button. Then you can re-work your template code at your leisure without worrying about the IE8 user first impression.
All it takes is one line of code in your <head> section:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
This one snippet of code will save you untold headaches if your template was built for IE7.

If you have a Windows Live (Hotmail) account, you can hook up your WordPress blog to your profile so that people can see your latest posts!
Just use the “Web activities” feature to add your blog, and you are good to go. (Choose “Custom blog” and fill in your information.)
You must first log into your WordPress admin and change the “Settings – Writing” to allow remote publishing. Put a check-mark in both “Atom Publishing Protocol” and “XML-RPC”. Save your changes
Then log into your Live account and add your blog!
Very Cool.
Blog marketing is one of the easier methods of marketing online that you are going to find. Blogs (also known as web-logs) are still quite popular, even in the age of "FaceBook". You can create a blog on any particular subject that you want and then publish it for the world to read.
If you are just beginning in Internet marketing, you are going to find that starting a blog is very easy to do. Anyone can sign up for a free blog, and then proceed to market basically anything that they want to. Because blogs are free to have and make, this makes blog marketing even better. Whereas if you have a website and are wanting to market things that way, you would have to pay for your domain, pay for your hosting of the domain, and then know some HTML or hire a website designer.
