My New IE Blog Entry

2006 Dec 6, 6:18I got another blog entry on the IE Blog! I wrote about file URIs in IE. Lots of fun right? Woo for file URIs! I added the post to del.icio.us and saw that it had already been added 6 times previous. This compared to my previous IE Blog post which was added to del.icio.us a total of 1 time(s) by y.t. I guess people are more interested in blog posts that have 'URI' in the title than they are about blog posts whose title references Dijkstra. Coming soon (or later) to the IE Blog: a post on international mailto URIs. Hooray!PermalinkCommentsblog ie7 file uri delicious
