Blog This is the command. Didn’t realize there was a toolbar command for the Blog this in Windows Live Writer command I wrote about earlier.
In my case I have the Command bar turned on under the Tools menu.

To login into USA Today’s website with Facebook with Internet Explorer add to Trusted Sites
Just found this out by navigating to USA Today’s News subsite and trying to click on the Sign in with Facebook under the generic avatar icon positioned off to the top right of the webpage.
If you use Windows 7 or 8 and/or Internet Explorer 9 or 10 try this:
If you don’t have a Facebook account but have a Google+ account then click on the Sign in with Google button. You an also try holding the Ctrl key down while you click the button. That sometimes helps.
I was on my (non-touch) PC just a minute ago and for some reason wasn’t able to register on a website using my Facebook account so that I could sign up for a newsletter. This has been happening for quite some time. I installed Chrome recently and the site works there if I copy the address and do a Paste and Go (right-click) from Chrome’s address bar. What gives? Should I just ditch IE and go to Chrome?
Well, no. Chrome is considered by Microsoft as a 3rd party web browser. The native web browser to Windows operating systems is Internet Explorer. Always has been.
Why don’t you try this:
From within Internet Explorer, look for an tiny icon representing a broken page (screenshot below) to the far right side of the address bar up on the top left of the Internet Explorer window. Click on that.
Compatibility View toggle button in photo of the broken page icon below. Currently off in this photo. Only certain sites will have this based on the way the webpage was created.
Here it is off (below this line)
And…
Here it is on (below this line)
Now click on the Login with Facebook button. Or whatever it’s called.
If that doesn’t work, press and hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard. Then click Login with Facebook.
Okay, that works now. So do I need to uninstall Chrome? No. Just use it sparingly, they should keep patching it. It’s from Google and it’s for free. I use it for cases like this.
The other thing to be aware of is the enhanced IE security you get with Windows versus 3rd party web browsers. IE is native to the Windows OS.
The best advice I can give moving forward is to consider adding your most commonly used sites that you trust to the Trusted Sites zone in Internet Options. It’s under the Security tab within the Internet Options menu.
Tips:
Next, click the search provider’s command.
Please note, in this example I’m using Search with Web Search from Yahoo but the default provider in IE10 is Bing.com.
Final advice for anyone using Internet Explorer on Windows 8:
