Dark text on a darker background isn't that good an idea.

Also, the right aligned title text is still right aligned when you go to print, which for some reason makes Firefox split it across 2 lines (Also, it's using sIFR, which I can't stand, but that's just a personal opinion)

i like how the 'tags' are shaped to fit each other like that... and the 'Recent' menu at the left, i know your trying to go for the 'subtle' look but it would be nice if you could read it easier without having to mouse over it... suggest increasing the brightness of the font to give it more contrast, and maybe changing the highlight colour to make it stand out more... i think if you keep the 'dim' look abit yellowish, and make the 'highlight' colour abit bluish , it would give the illusion of extra brightness

also , the 'Recent' menu dissapears and gets replaced by 'leave a comment' whenever you click on an entry, is that on purpose? it forces us to go back one page to see the menu again

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the late reply! However I've modified the links in the recent bit to make them brighter, is that better?

As for going back when reading a previous post, I admit that's a flaw in the design I haven't quite thought about :p I'll make the logo clickable so that it brings you back to the home page.

Any more comments are appreciated!!

The white font is kind of strenuous on the eyes, especially with the background color. Try a little more yellow-grey. I use the same background color as the background in Visual Studio, and use F4FFAE as the background color. I find that combo very easier to work with. Also, a little more contrast on the heading and blog index wouldn't hurt.

Other than that, I really like the design.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.

      Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.

      That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.

      Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
