Argotic Syndication Framework 2008 released
I got an email yesterday that a major update to the Argotic Syndication Framework was released. I have used the older versions of this framework several times for projects that need basic RSS & Atom parsing/generating so I'm looking forward to digging-in to the new release.

My fair and biased opinion on the recent upgrade...

A web site is not an RSS feed...nor the reverse.
There was a time not so long ago when we built "home pages". Glorviously extravagant, naievely simple web sites that said who we were, and what we were about. On those home pages, we put news & announcements, and often, links to static pages of content. If we wanted to interact with visitors, we included guest books, maybe a simple message board, or just displayed our email address prominantly so others could drop us a note. All of this was created by hand with the expectation that changes would be few and far between.

RSS and ATOM libraries?
Today, I was out Googling for a good ATOM library to add to a project I am working on so I can support both RSS & ATOM. Thus far, I have been using the excellent ASP.NET RSS Toolkit, but I was disappointed to find very few .NET solutions for ATOM available in the open-source community.

CommunityServer 2.x & MetaWeblog API
It took me a while to remember where the MetaWeblogAPI went in CS 2.x, so here is the url in case anyone else is trying to get their favorite blog-posting tool to work with the newly revamped weblogs.asp.net site:

Finding Old Web Pages
I was trying to access a blog post while the weblogs.asp.net site was down over the weekend, and remembered this resource for grabbing old versions of websistes:
Archives of Dead Web Pages: Wayback, Cache, and More:Finding Old Web Pages - The Web changes constantly, and sometimes that page that had just the information you needed yesterday (or last month or two years ago) is not available today. At other times you may want to see how a page's content or design has changed. There are several sources for finding Web pages as they used to exist.

Weblogs.asp.net Future revisited, questioned, and discussed....
Based upon the number of comments It seems that my last post on this topic struck a nerve with some of the weblogs.asp.net bloggers as well as Telligent. I read the many comments and other posts on this topic, and even had a little more to say in my post's comments. I don't want to give ScottW and Telligent too much grief over this, they have worked hard on the implementation over the years and I applaud them for it. However, when discussing this site, you really have to break the discussion into 2 parts; the Engine/Codebase, and the Blog Site.

Scott (Telligent), where is our blogging relationship going?
Back in the days when this blog site was "dotnetweblogs.com" it was exciting and fun because it was new and ever-changing. Like watching your niece or nephew growing up, it was fun to see the improvements and changes that Scott introduced to the site each month (sometimes each week or day). Not that blogs were new, but I was new to blogs, this was a new blog engine, and it was written in .NET and dedicated to .NET which made it uber-cool.
