I recently listed the MVPs for Microsoft MVP - FrontPage. Very soon there will be Expression Web MVPs designated too. Many of the MVPs publish their own Expression Web and FrontPage sites and the list is well worth looking at.

Where to file Expression Web Bugs

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

Previously if you wanted to file a bug the place for that was
https://connect.microsoft.com/expressionweb however, the Expression Web team will take down the old set up on Friday 17th August and make a brand new site for the purpose of submitting bugs and feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/Expression

This will include not only Expression Web but all the Expression Studio products.

  • Expression Web
  • Expression Blend
  • Expression Design
  • Expression Media
  • Expression Media Encoder

Just to make life easy, ahem, at the time of posting, the old well documented archive will no longer be available to the general public. Let us hope that situation changes.
