MetaPost for DotNetNuke
I think people over 30 never cease to be amazed at what is possible to do using the Internet. Yesterday, I shared a conversation of a few hours with Don Worthley, creator of a DotNetNuke module that makes publishing to DNN modules a breeze. Don is a member of the DotNetNuke Blog project team, he has 5 children and he is only 3 years older than me.
It is cumbersome to use different interfaces for tasks that are similar and after the Blog module started to support the MetaWeblog API, I've found less excuses to share information and my thoughts on a myriad of things. Ever since I am able to publish posts to the DotNetNuke Blog module from Word/OneNote, I've been posting more often to my blogs. However, being very DNN-centric when it comes to websites, it's impossible to miss the fact that most DNN modules don't support the MetaWeblog API. While there are valid reasons for this, Don's module, called metaPost, comes to the rescue for all users who want to write rich content for their websites from a simple yet powerful desktop application like Windows Live Writer, or the aforementioned Word/OneNote combo.
I am in the process of deploying metaPost to my business site and will let you know how the experience goes. In the meantime, you can learn more about metaPost at the links provided above and make sure you watch the videos that explain the Expanders, which enable you to include rich content into your site.
