I just wanted to let everyone know that I just finished some work on BlogEngine to run as a Facebook application.  I have a couple of polishes to put on it and I will post it. 

Let me know if you are interested in the source code.

Thanks,

Roman

I wanted to share with everyone that I created a new online magazine using BlogEngine.Net. I made use of all the existing features of of Blogengine along with a few new widgets and extensions.  I even created a new theme to go along with it.  I don’t know if I will share it at this time because it is specific to my site.  But the odds are it will show you some new ways to use the software.

Take a look at it and let me know what you think.

I will get into the specifics of the site in a later post.  

Just an update for everyone.  You can now visit the site at http://www.ichoosetofeel.net.  Please take a look and review it.  It's ad free and we don’t ask for money.

I got three comments on my web site from some guy who was trying to win some SEO challenge.  It dawned on me that he was actually trying to boost his web site by latching on to blogs and raising his page rank.  I felt a little stupid.  So now I am a little more weary about allowing others to post to my site.  I weed some of them out but its hard to know who’s who right?  It goes to show that if you are going to take the time to leave a comment, even if it is only a thank you, make it at least two sentences.  One for the thank you and the second for what you did with it.  At least you are passing on the value to others and making the post a little more legitimate.

I am reaching out the BlogEngine.Net community.

I am writing a book for the BlogEngine.Net version 1.4! 

I am covering the whole gambit with BE.N.  I am taking an approach that I hope many of you will like.  I plan on the basics for newcomers, a lot more depth for the developers and I am going to include a section for creating themes.  If you are a beginning developer, just getting into C#, or just a hobbyist you will like this book.  I am going to demonstrate many of the C# Design Patterns that are used in BE.N and you can use them in your own code.  Together we will create extensions, themes, widgets, and perhaps a custom XML multi-blog provider. 

The book is going to be an e-book initially because I believe in being green as possible.  I have a local publisher working with me on distribution and press print. 

If anyone is wanting to preorder let me know.  I will begin posting more information about the book as it becomes available.

If you have any questions or comments please please give them to me.  I want to address as much as possible in the first release.
