Internet Explorer 7 Released
I was just installing some Windows Updates on my computer, when up popped a notice that Internet Explorer 7 was ready to be installed.
Microsoft has had the new browser ready for download for a while, but has only “forced” it upon users within the last couple of days as a security update. I have resisted the temptation to download it and play with it, mainly because we thought it would be a good idea to see what our clients are seeing. Now that most people will be upgraded without even knowing it, I will be keen to check out what exactly has changed.
The new browser has a few new features that will be useful to users, including tabbed browsing, rss feed aggregator and increased CSS support.
The aggregator will be most useful, especially for users with blog and newsletter systems available through their site. One of us will be writing an article soon on the value of RSS feeds in reaching your audience, so stay tuned.
As for the increased CSS support, we will be going through our clients sites furiously within the next few weeks, making sure all designs are still sitting together nicely. If you are an eMedia Worx client, make sure that if you see anything we miss, you contact us and report the bugs and we will endeavour to fix them as quickly as possible.
