CS Tidbits #20: Add Basic Stats To Your Blog

I pulled a Ken in that I wrote a basic BlogStats control quite a while back and simply forgot about it, and it actually fits perfectly into my current series of CS Tidbits.  So I busted it out of Vault and cleaned it up a bit and added it to my current (soon to be published) CS Custom Controls project.  In a nutshell it's a simple control that can be dropped onto any of your individual blog's skin files to get some basic posting information such as is displayed in the image on the left.  Very basic, but useful enough IMO.  If anyone can think of other useful information that should be displayed let me know and I'll add it.

You can download it from here, there is a readme file included with detailed instructions on how to install it.  I'm also cooking up some other nifty controls, so stay tuned.

About Jayson Knight

Jayson Knight was clueless to the computer programming world until he took a C++ class in college. The rest is proverbial history. He has been building applications targeting the .Net framework for 7 years, focusing mainly on internet technologies and database driven web application development.

Most recently he left the world of Corporate IT to finish up his degree in Chemistry, with an eye on Medical School and an Anesthesiology residency program. Read this post for more information.

He is also a Community Server MVP: Community Server is the software that runs this site, plus many others on the web. For more information, check out http://csmvps.com.

When he finds time to pry himself away from his computer and university studies, he can be found on the mountain bike trails when it's warm, and on the ski slopes when it's cold.
