Well I decided to move my blog off of .Text and onto a custom blog application that I am writting from scratch.  I didn't really have any problems with .Text but I wanted to create some new features and I did not have the source.  So as it stands right now I have limited blogging features in my custom solution.  I was able to migrate my data out of .Text and into the new schema without much issue.  I have some old links to the old blog that will have to be changed.

I will be slowly adding the following features:

• RSS Feeds - Done 6/4/2006
• Ability to add comments
• Blog search
• Support for blogging API so that I can add blog entries from a smart client application
• Submit blog entry by email
• Ability to create blog entries but delay the publishing of the entries - Done 6/10/2006

I have tried several blogging services and software packages and I finally decided to use .Text on my own web site.  I felt I had more control over what I wanted to do with my blog if I used my own site and a package that came with the source.  So far I really like .Text and I can't think of anything I would change currently.

 

 

Well I am in the process of moving over to a new webhosting service.  I used to use Flarehosting but I changed to WebHost4Life.  The new service is cheaper and provides more capabilities.  So far I am very impressed with the service.  The control panel used to configure your web site gives you a lot of capabilities.  I now have subdomain capability without additional cost.
