Creating this blogging software has been a great way of improving my ASP.NET skills.

It uses ASP.NET 2.0, is programmed in C#. It has a SQL server 2000 backend and makes full use of stored procedures (although I've heard that ORM might be the future).

I didn't really appreciate how complex a piece of blogging software could be. Now I've been using it for a while I have a feature request as long as my arm.

If I was to do this again I'd probably not reinvent the wheel and I'd use something like dasBlog or Subtext. These are both open source ASP.NET blogging engines that I've heard good things about.

Selenium sounds incredibly useful. Shame we didn't know about it when we did the Pensions Credit Calculator all those moons ago.

I'll have to try and get some Selenium tests working to test the log in and comment leaving parts of this blog.

Ian, I might try and sell it to you later. It's written as an ASP.NET control and would be easy to plug into any site. Shouldn't be too hard to re-write it in PHP either so it'd work on your site.

I was in London yesterday while the great flood was happening up North. I checked my blog to find that I was experiencing heavy rain in Leeds. I really struggled to get back here on the train, but I did okay.

I like this. There's probably a little app here. Let people put their own photos in and put it on their own sites. A bit like those houses where the little man or woman would pop their head out. Although if you made one of those with a miniature version of you and scrambledheads, I'd buy it.

I've just finished co-writing some Selenium scripts in C# and the next step is using Nant / Cruise Control so I'll let you know how it goes :)
