New Blog
Jun 11
2010
I've finally had time to update my blog to HTML5 and ASP.NET MVC2.
Although there is a little bit of work left to get things humming along, where's whats wired in (so far):
- ASP.NET MVC2
- Autofac2 for IoC
- NHibernate2
- HTML5 markup
- JQuery1.4
- Article Difference Algorithm
- BlogML for importing content
- Markdown syntax / Markdownsharp, for comments and new posts
- CKEditor, incase I want to edit / write using html
- Javascript Syntax Highlighter
- Blazing.BusinessObjects2 / Blazing.BusinessObjects.Membership (my nhibernate membership provider)
- Comments
- Akismet integration
- Gravatars
Whats to come:
- Trackbacks
- Metablog API
Why write my own blog engine?
So I can write about developing a real HTML5 website.
Will the source be available? Yes, at some point.
Once most of the new blog engine is in place, I'll start adding new content about new web technologies around HTML5 and CSS3.
No new comments are allowed on this post.

If this works...then comments are working :)
if(this.Works())
{
Console.WriteLine("Code works too :)");
}

I'm digging that you're using ReCAPTCHA & Akismet to fight off spam. Not only do you get less spam, you're helping read books!

Remembering user info would be awesome, will add to the todo list :P
And yeah, with the links, thats just markdown. I don't really feel that the Diff feature with the HTML posts is all that effective, will try to clean that up at some point.
Having a few problems with godaddy though, it doesn't seem to email me everytime feedback if added...only sometimes :(
