ASP.NET Weblogs

Adam Kinney on .NET

Hunting Godzilla in .NET...

And then there were 4…

4 blogs.  No really more like 4 blog channels. That's what I'm up to now.

My complete blog channel can be found at AdamKinney.com, which from there I crosspost to Longhornblogs.com and weblogs.asp.net and now announcing the latest channel at the recently started XAMLBlogs.com.

Crossposting is useful as you are able to reach different audiences and build seperate comment conversations. Its always interesting to see the turns that the conversations can go when they grow independantly. Sort of like living in different parallel universes at the same time…

Aha.. so this is how you can post to weblogs.asp.net as well as longhornblogs.com! I always wondered. I thought that weblogs.asp.net and longhornblogs, would syndicate from adamkinney.com. But apparently you are just cross-posting, but this so does not make sense. The whole point of XML-based blogs is that other websites can syndicate you, so that you really only have to post once.

All those blog-sites should start offering off-site syndication. In the meantime, mybe I should start cross-posting as well. How do I get a blog on weblogs.asp.net?

I should have mentioned that the cross-posting is not all done manually. One of the main reasons I chose dasBlog as my main blog was because it had the ability to do automatic cross-posting. As long as another blog supports the MetaWeblog API you can set that blog up as one to crosspost to.

So you write up a post on your main blog and then at the bottom you just mark a checkbox next to each one you want to send the blog entry to in addition to your main blog.

As far as getting a weblogs.asp.net blog, I believe you just have to send an email request to ScottWater - http://scottwater.com/blog/
