Added some blog statistics on the home page.  Currently I am only tracking the number of blog, comment and trackback entries.  Later I might add more statistics or allow the numbers to be constrained by some start and end date so I can see numbers for a specific time frame.

I added in the ability for my site to receive track back pings.  The pings get logged into a database table.  I only allow one trackback per Url and Blog Unique Id.  I also added the ability to only allow trackbacks if the Url is really referencing the blog identifier it is attempting to ping.  This should hold down spam some.  I still need to do the following around trackbacks:

• Add in the ability for this site to ping other sites. 
• Add the ability to remove trackbacks in the admin pages
• List trackbacks on the Blog Detail page
• Add the ability to show a count of all trackbacks 

I went ahead and added a single RSS feed to my site.  I ended up using the RSS Toolkit that can be found on Dmitryr's blog.  It was very easy to get the tool kit to publish RSS.  I need to bounce the RSS XML format against the 2.0 specifications to be sure I am emitting decent RSS. 

I had one problem with the control that comes with the tool kit.  I attempted to create multiple channels based on the Blog Catagories that I have defined in case someone would want to subscribe to only a specific catagory.  However when I placed this control in a repeater whenever a post back occurs I get an error stating this "is not a valid virtual path".  I suspect it has something to do with the control when it is trying to append the ChannelName to the query string.  For now I just removed the subcatagory RSS feeds.
