+What can you expect from day one of a brand new project? Not much, right? Wrong. Awesomeness is what you should expect. The first <strike>sucker</strike> up to the plate was [@distantcam](https://twitter.com/#!/distantcam) who setup the Caliburn.Micro framework, hooked up MarkdownSharp and we were well on our way to getting a workable utility.

+While day two was "slow", day three was anything but. An icon, a UI overhaul, and so many features.
+
+###The Logo
+One of the good and bad things about an adhoc, democratic app is that everybody has a say. This has led to some great UI or logic choices, but on the flipside has also had a few instances of where nobody could agree and executive decisions has to be made. For the icon, we had two shapes and many colours to pick from!

+
+###UI overhaul
+It was voted that the anything resembling the "Fluent UI" (Ribbon) should be nuked from orbit, and instead we opted to go for a metro look. Thankfully, we all knew a guy who knew a guy who had a [WPF Metro Library](http://www.theleagueofpaul.com/metro).

+The design was inspired by (and permitted!) [ClindHartsen](https://twitter.com/#!/clindhartsen)'s "[Focus Text Editor](http://clindhartsen.deviantart.com/art/Focus-Text-Editor-176271501)"
+
+We also introduced [Awesomium](http://awesomium.com/) as the preview control to make up for the lacking capabilities of the build in WPF WebBrowser (which is really just IE in an ActiveX/COM wrapper)

+Another icon, this time for *documents* - that is, .md, .mdown and .markdown. Just like the app logo, we went through several iterations before we found the right one.

+`1-MetaweblogAPI` branch can now communicate with FunnelWeb/Metaweblog API to publish new posts and open, edit and save old posts!
+
+`Win7Intergration` has (optional) file association (which is what the document icon is for) and jump list support - it's all starting to come together!
