I’ve just released a package for Umbraco that adds support for IE9 Pinned Sites. You can get the package at: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/ie9-extensions.

This allows content editors to customize pinned sites metadata, tasks and jump lists. I’ll do a screencast and more detailed blog post on how to use it very soon. For now, please submit any feedback in the project homepage (http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/ie9-extensions).

Previous work done by Matt Brailsford allowed pinning the Umbraco admin area and has been integrated in Umbraco 4.7 core.

More info on pinned sites at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg131029(v=vs.85).aspx.

This is a wonderful feature of IE9 that you can take advantage of for a richer user experience for end users.

Thanks to Matt and everyone at Fullsix Portugal for help and input on this. Source code should be published at the project’s codeplex page soon.
