		<title>Excel Workbook Size Reduction Revisited.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in January I posted a few ideas to reduce workbook size. This post got quite a few comments, so I’d thought I’d write them up into a proper post.
Also Gorden has noticed a strange thing happening, so I wanted to highlight that a bit better too.
Here is a check list!

		<title>Read this, its (about) the Law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while back JW notice that some clever chap had been ripping content from his, and other peoples Excel blogs, and reposting it, un attributed. A bit more dig from part time PI Deb Dalgleish unearthed a few sites, all belonging to the same chap, with yet more content theft. Some of the stuff was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quickie: Colour Style of Bar Chart Bars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick one.
I notice that I often apply a fade effect to the bars of my bar charts, to me it looks a bit nicer.
With fade&#8230;

Without fade&#8230;

Its not too important, I think the options are:
1. Fade is best
2. Solid is best
3. Ross, you wasting my dam time, you&#8217;re a moron!
What do you think?

		<title>Why I can’t live without my iPhone.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In fact I don’t have an iPhone. I have a G Phone (a HTC magic (now)), running Android 1.6. But if I’d have said “Why I can’t live without my G Phone”, people might have thought I was on some Android crusade, which I’m not. This post is about “culture”, well ish…

		<title>Down Tools&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The eagle eyed amongst you will have notice that MIE has taken one of it&#8217;s now customary hiatuses (?), this has been in part due to project work load, and in part due to a new &#8220;bird&#8221; which obviously eats up time at the start :-).
Anyway it&#8217;s 4:30 on Friday and after one of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Excel Workbook Size Reduction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you work and work on a spreadsheet it has a tendency to grow in size. This is caused by adding more data, formulas and charts etc, but as file size grows workbooks can become unstable. I’m not sure what the current thinking is, but workbooks over 100mb always used to worry me. I know [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the use of Tabs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tabs are everywhere. The most common complaint is that they allow lazy UI design. It’s easy to see why that argument has come about, but tabs are undeniably useful, to break things up, or as a grouping control. For my money, here’s the 101.
Excel’s option dialog is awash with tabs, 13 all told. I’ve been [...]]]></description>
