MSDN article "Ribbon Extensibility in Access 2007"

A couple of months ago I spent a few days learning how to write XML for ribbons. I got pretty excited about the types of new interfaces that users can create without any code. I think you will find it is easier than you might think. This paper is the end product of a blog post I was going to write. It turned out to be so interesting that we decided to push it through the meat grinder and provide a uber doc that covers the basics of ribbon creation. Viki did a ton of work gathing all the extra details--thanks for the help. Here is the summary, URL, and picture of a couple screen shots:
