Spam & Outlook 2003
What to do with all that spam Applies to: Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/outlook/HA011590551033.aspx

Not too many people like spam - at least not the e-mail kind (Monty Python skits aside). If you’re like most people, the majority of the e-mail headed toward your Inbox is junk. Dealing with all of that junk can take a big bite out of your day and leave you wishing for a big spam hammer! That’s when Outlook comes to the rescue.
The best way to deal with spam is to block it before it gets to your Inbox. A good first line of defense is a spam filter at your Internet gateway or at your e-mail server. Even with filters in place there, however, it’s still a great idea to use the Outlook spam-blocking filters to help keep your Inbox uncluttered.
Outlook 2003 adds some great spam-blocking features, building on the spam filter that was included in previous versions. To configure the Outlook spam filter settings, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Junk E-mail on the Preferences tab, which opens the Junk E-mail Options dialog box.

Back in December ’06, we posted on out plans to move our entire corporate site to WordPress during January.
Well, we got busy with a bunch of great projects for clients and so neglected our own site for most of 2007 (the proverbial “cobbler’s kids have no shoes”). We finally made time to relaunch our site, and did so in October.
Overall, we’re really pleased. Our new site is much more flexible, SEO-friendly, and much much much (yes, that’s triple-much) easier to maintain. Read more
