• Create your blog post in a Word document
• Go to Office Button and select PUBLISH > BLOG. Word supports Windows Live Spaces, Blogger, SharePoint, Community Server, TypePad, Wordpress and others
• Then publish your post

One thing nice about this is the ability to create posts offline (like when you’re at a conference or without internet access).

Calendar

• Don’t fix the all day events area, allow it to scroll as I move up and down in day view. I use all day events a lot and sometimes this means I can’t see my overall calendar when in day view.
• When I decline a meeting, if it is recurring, allow me the option of declining only this occurence or the series. Currently if you decline a recurring event it kills off all of them (current and future)
• Calendar search
• Allow me to view published calendars from others. For example, I have my address book birthdays being pulled into a calendar and I can’t get to these.
• Allow me to add a status to a calendar event like I can in Outlook (e.g. Free, Busy, Out of Office)
• Allow me to set a calendar event as private

Contacts/Address Book

• Ensure search covers all fields. I often add notes (e.g. Italian restaurant) and it would be helpful for search to include all fields.
• Make entry easier. Too many windows I have to hop through. Nuff said.

Home

• Allow me to elevate some setting to the home page. For example I often have to change the brightness of my display, access wifi or VPN and it’s annoying to not be able to get to this faster.
