David,
I'm not able to view the images via my RSS reader, as well as directly through IE.

Phylyp, is there some chance that there is a firewall blocking images? I have had one or two other people in that situation.

It's not a firewall problem. I'm at home in the same location where everything prior to February worked fine (and using a notebook that hasn't had any security fixes since your January posts either because I've been away).

I see the first couple of lines only (for all these posts) even if I theoretically open the item itself.

If however I access Comments, then I do see the entire text images and all.

Here's what I'm doing.

1. I click on the date in the calendar.

2. I get the header plus maybe a line. This is the same amount of info I get when I access the blog itself (when I get several such items) rather than the individual date.

3. I can either click the title or comments in which case I see the full article.

It used to be that the full article was visible when clicking the date in the calendar.

It also used to be that then the title was linkable (in effect to itself) which was useful (not essential however because you can keep the link at the end of the item instead) when moving the text to OneNote 12.

I hope this clarifies what differences I am seeing.

Mike, gotcha. At some point (not sure exactly when - in January) there was an upgrade to our blogging software, and there were some changes in behaviour. THat's what you are seeing. If you want to see full articles with pictures, try using http://blogs.msdn.com/excel/

I'm already accessing the url you mention ...

For what it's worth (and I know it will do no good, nor that you probably have anything to do with the blogging software) I prefer the old method as now I have (every time) one click extra in order to see anything useful.

This is OK if I am looking at the entire web page containing all the recent blog items, but when I am specifically clicking on the date in the calendar and there is only one blog item for that date, then I want to see the entire item !!

By all means submit this is a change request if you can. To my mind they went backwards with this latest update (at least in this respect)

Mike

P.S. Of course your texts are well worth that extra click (but still)!

Mike, I have sent feedback, but, as you say, I have nothing to do with the software.
