New blog design (again)

Today I tried the new (to me at lest) Blogger Template Designer, and I must say that I was impressed with the usability of the tool. To be able to preview your blog with a new theme, without actually applying it is a very valuable feature in my mind. And the “Apply to blog” button just works instantly. There’s a lot of help for a beginner in getting a good look for your blog, and at the same time there are options for those that like to customize a lot. There’s also the ability to add your own CSS if you want to, which should satisfy most advanced users. Quite well-balanced if you ask me.

Good job Blogger (Google)! I like it! =)

And I also think my new design is quite nice. ;-)

Changing the registration info for Visual Studio 2010

I just had enough of Visual Studio displaying the wrong username and organization (no I don’t work at Microsoft) in the splash screen and in Help –> About. After a little searching, I came across this blog post by Stuart Thompson, that explains the process in detail.

The only thing I want to add is that you should wait for the “devenv.exe” process to exit before trying to launch VS2010 again. This is in the step where you run “devenv /setup”. I used Task Manager to make sure that the devenv.exe process finished before starting VS2010, and it worked well for me. I can’t say that you will run into problems if you don’t wait though, because I haven’t tried that.

Oh and btw, it might be a good idea to backup your settings (by exporting them) before you start, just in case.
