Word 2007 Blogging Problems – I’m Not Alone

It seems that I’m not alone in my problems blogging with the Word 2007 Beta, detailed here. Ed Bott, in a post about a free AV for Vista beta testers, notes that when he tries to publish from Word 2007 to his Wordpress blog his posts seem to disappear into the ether.

Microsoft Expression Web Designer Beta
