I added the following code to the web.config to have the intellisense render the blog controls.

 <compilation debug="true" >

---BEGIN NEW---
      <codeSubDirectories>
        <add directoryName="Controls"/>
      </codeSubDirectories>

---END NEW---
</compilation>

.Net, Visual Studio

Here's the deal.  I have been looking for a blog engine that I could finally make my own.  I have explored many of the blogs out there and found that all of them lacked something.  I needed to have a variety of features.  I needed tagging, categories, MetablogAPI, additional pages, tracking, mulitple users, themes, and the ability to add additional modules if necessary.  I finally found BlogEngine.Net on CodePlex.  There are many reasons for the choice, one is that it meets all of my needs.  From a developers point of view it has a temendous potential.

I have been wanting to use DotNetNuke for the longest time since I host it and advocate it.  However, I could not use third party tools to blog.  Many blog applications do not allow you create additional pages, eg. dasBlog, but BlogEngine.Net does. 

I am going to be doing software tutorials that deal with CSLA.Net and the implementation of them.  The additional pages will allow for a psudeo article type functionality.  I may even find time to contribute to it.

I have been wanting to give back to the open source community that has given me many of the tools that I need to succeed in bussiness.  I cannot give to them all but I can give to some.

I look forward to publishing more now that I finally found a blog home. 

General blogengine.net, dotnetnuke, csla.net

I am trying out the CS2007 for a while.  I have been wanting a "one" site solution for my publishing and family stuff.  So far it is hard to find any themes that people offer for download.  I will keep looking.  Let me know if you find any.

If you ever get stuck burning an ISO image to DVD here is the trick.

"I found however that the dvdburn.exe utility that is included with the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools did the trick.

I installed the resource kit tools under Vista, and then just had to open a cmd prompt and type:

 dvdburn d: {imagefilename} /erase

where {imagefilename} was the fully qualified path to the iso image I wanted to burn."
