OPML: 70 Office Development Bloggers and Counting!
It all started with a few bloggers a little before Beta 2. People started blogging about the Ribbon, the cool ASP.NET 2.0 platform and WSS 3.0, Excel Services, the Office Open XML File Formats and InfoPath Forms Services. Lots of great features to build solutions using Office as a platform!
Office development blogs are quite active and inviting for developers trying to learn what's new with the Microsoft Office system and diving more into specific products and technologies. When all this started, I added RSS feeds every week to Outlook until it became just a joke to have so many bloggers added to my RSS feed. There's hundreds if not thousands of people blogging about Office development and every day new blogs are born. I built a new list of Office development bloggers and a few days before launch, my list adds up to 70!

When I started posting lists of bloggers someone suggested that I should build an OPML list of Office Development Bloggers, so I did. You can download the OPML file here:
You can use Outlook, Windows Live or other OPML readers to open this file and add your favorite RSS feeds.
MSDN blogs: pending to add!
How could I leave them out: Kathleen McGrath, Paul Stubbs, and the new Microsoft SharePoint Designer Team Blog
Pranav's blog: You should check this one out, I hate me for not finding Pranav's blog before: This blog is all about Office Automation, VSTO, InfoPath and other programming stuff and the thing i believe on is "Real Stuff is Out Of The Box."
New blogs:
Make sure you check out Rob Barker's: Where in the "OBA" am I? and his first post.
I am sure there's more blogs out there that I didn't list here. If you have an Office development blog or know of great bloggers that talk about VSTO, SharePoint, WSS or anything else related with Office, please let me know so we add them to the list. You don't need to have an MSDN or TechNet blog, you only need to be passionate about development with Office products and technologies. The list keeps growing every day.
