The thing about New Year&#8217;s resolutions is that they&#8217;re almost always left unfulfilled. But that doesn&#8217;t mean we can&#8217;t share the good times, does it? Here&#8217;s some stuff to look forward to out of NST&#8217;s camp in the coming days\/weeks\/months:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Coverage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re pleased to welcome Kristan M. Kenney to the NeoSmart blogging team &#8211; most of our readers are probably already familiar with his previous contributions to the online community. Kristan will be providing a &#8220;different&#8221; perspective on tech happenings and further insight into certain aspects of the computer industry that we haven&#8217;t &#8220;delved deeply enough into,&#8221; for lack of a better expression.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s taken us a while, but both the <a href=\"https:\/\/neosmart.net\/wiki\/category\/guides\/\" rel=\"follow\">Guides section<\/a> and the Reviews section of NST are finally up and running. At the moment, the reviews is pretty empty (read: void of any and all content); but we&#8217;ve been working hard (thanks to our contributors) on some all-new guides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/neosmart.net\/wiki\/display\/G\/Installing+Windows+Vista\" rel=\"follow\">Installing Windows Vista<\/a>  <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/neosmart.net\/wiki\/display\/G\/Installing+Windows+XP\" rel=\"follow\">Installing Windows XP<\/a>  <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/neosmart.net\/wiki\/display\/G\/Burning+ISO+Images+to+a+CD+or+DVD\" rel=\"follow\">Burning ISO Images<\/a>  <\/li>\n<li>Web Browser Guides for Beginners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The guides are intended to cover as wide a range of content and readers as possible &#8211; from the beginner to the expert. Where possible, each guide will have dedicated sections for the varying levels of involvement and\/or difficulty (for instance, tweaking Firefox&#8217;s options via the available settings&#8217; dialogs verses making advanced changes in about:config)<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Programs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, it seems that its our software that brings in the biggest share of attention, and here&#8217;s what we&#8217;re currently working on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vista Hide &#8216;n Seek, a (free, of course) application that protects your Windows Vista System Restore points from corruption by Windows XP.
