It seems that I’m not alone in my problems blogging with the Word 2007 Beta, detailed here. Ed Bott, in a post about a free AV for Vista beta testers, notes that when he tries to publish from Word 2007 to his Wordpress blog his posts seem to disappear into the ether.

I don’t believe that this is a problem with posts disappearing, just that they are getting a post date of far into the past - in my case, it was December 1969. For everyone having trouble posting from Word 2007 to a Wordpress blog, fire up your admin console and head to Manage > Posts and change the browse month dropdown to whatever is the abstract date.
