Attention: We have retired the ASP.NET Community Blogs. Learn more >

DotText and new version of WebLog@ASP.NET launched

What a great news that ScottW announce the new blog engine - DotText and his personal blog to a new home. (It's a good name and a very good application! I know he have many beautiful skins and fantastic features coming :)

Moreover, he have a blog dedicated for Site News and mention the latest version and situation of this blog site.

I saw a Link Category from ScottW where he show all of the blog places are using the DotText engine, e.g. ScottOnWriting and DotNetJunkies (Sorry, I can't find this link category from his blog at this moment). In the meantime, I'm working on a Chinese blog community now, which is based on the DotText engine (more accurately it is the 'old' version of DotNet Engine), here is a screen shot:

BetaTest

Yes, one of my modification made is make it to support “aNy”  languages, in addition to English.
(Hopefully, ScottW will put my link on his link category shortly. :)

BTW, I noticed that the Trackback/Referral section was removed in this latest version of WebLog@ASP.NET, I'm not sure why ScottW insist to do so. Well, it's a bit confusing and ugly when reading a blog, but I think it's an interesting sections when we know who's reading it. (ScottW, I hope you can hear me :)

Update: I found the Link Category that showing “Blogs using .Text”, it's actually at the left hand side of http://scottwater.com/dottext :)

  • Hi Colt,



    Trackbacks and Pingbacks are not removed. They are just mixed with comments.



    Referrals will now only be available on the stats page...although you can easily create a control to display them publicly if you like.



    There were two major db changes that happened last night (which is why the site when off line for an hour).



    The first change was to switch all varchars/Text's to Nvarchar/NText.



    -Scott
