Just a little tip on how you can work a little bit more effective when jumping back and forth between the Umbraco sections (aka Content, Media, Settings, Developer etc...).

Note: This tip assumes that you have a screen resoultion higher than 1024 x 768px

First, of course, download and install IE7.

Then open your umbraco backend by going straight to the file http://YourDomain/umbraco/login.aspx then open this URL in say, 3 different tabs...

Then click a different section for each tab, I usually work with "Content", "Settings" and "Developer" open at the same time.
What you have now is three different tabs titled nothing but "umbraco".

A bit confusing isn't it?

Well, to solve the confusion open your "umbraco\js\umbracoDefault.js" javascript file and add the following line in the function "shiftApp()" (somewhere around line 350):
Code:
top.document.title = appName + " - umbraco CMS";


When you have saved the js file press "F5" in each tab, and click on the Section selection once again...

Voila! Now you have three tabs entitled "Content - umbraco CMS", "Settings - umbraco CMS" and "Developer - umbraco CMS"...

We can make it even better...

In IE7 you can switch tabs by hitting CTRL + the number of the tab.

So you can switch between the different sections by hitting CTRL + 1, CTRL + 2, CTRL + 3.
(If you have opened them in Tab #1, #2 and #3 that is ;))

Sweet!

You know what? This might actually make me turn tabbed browsing back on :-)

Oh, and if you're using IE7 don't forget about the link bug:
