Blog Software in VB.NET

I've been doing C# development for a long time, maybe too long!  So I decided to get into the VB.NET camp so I could officially become a 'switch hitter' (that means develop in either C# or VB.NET).

So to force myself to learn, I decided on developing a VB.NET based blog application.  You can check it out here: http://www.freeVB.NET

I haven't decided on how I'm going to release this puppy to the world, stay tuned for more on that later.

I've been developing for a couple weeks now and I must say things have gone rather smoothly.  One of the trickiest things at first was creating variables, I am so so used to putting the variable type before the variable name.  Another issue I had switching over was casting objects to various types hehe.

Stay tuned...

Really an interesting project. I've added freevb.net on my bookmark, so I can check all the news on your project. I'm really interesting to see a blog software totally written with VB.NET. And if a day you'll release it, I think that lots of us we'll appreciate your work.

Yeah the current theme is just for development purposes, not sure what i'm going to do but I think it should be improved upon hehe.
