My work

New blog server as it seems, which doesn't work ok with my blog-skin

It seems Telligent uploaded a new version of Community server here on weblogs.asp.net, though it broke my custom blog-skin so the blog doesn't look that great now. Sorry for that, I'll try to migrate the skin a.s.a.p.

Update: . Apparently the inTelligent guy / girl who did the migration didn't make it possible to upload images for your blog skin to the server (access denied). How wonderful. Also my normal body tag CSS override doesn't seem to work, and I now have no clue what would help in this case. Why didn't they email us to warn us, tell us what might change etc... ?

Update 2: Ok, I got the colors right again, no background image yet at the left, but at least I got rid of the red link color

Update 3: Hurray! Everything works again! .

Sorry about that Frans, as it turned out we sent an email to everyone about the update, but now found out that only 119 emails actually got sent. I'll check on the file upload stuff too -- that should be working.

Um, can't you build a blog engine with LLBL quickly and not have to depend on them? (My site is currently built on top of LLBL so it can't be that hard ;)

How do you get an account on weblogs.asp.net?

Hi Frans, Can you see if you can add a file in the control panel for your blog > Manage Content > Blog Files This is a new 2007 feature which should make it easier to share small files or even use them in your theme. Thanks, Scott

Hi Scott.

I get after clicking 'Upload':

------

Oops something went wrong!

Either the site is offline or an unhandled error occurred. We apologize and have logged the error. Please try your request again or if you know who your site administrator is let them know too.

My guess is that it's related to the same error.

Hi Frans,

Can you give it one more try? It looks there was some confusion on this and it got undone the last time. I just tried on the old sitenews blog and it seems to be working again.

If it doesn't work this time, please ping me at scottw - telligent.com and I will help you through it.

Thanks,

Scott
