Got home from work today and found a pleasant surprise waiting for me: My copy of Professional Community Server arrived today! First thing to do is snap a shot of me with said book and send it over to Jose to be posted on ProfessionalCommunityServer.com . Then it'll take a tour around the country (and possibly England and Iran as well) to be signed by as many Telligenti/MVPs as possible. Cheesy? Perhaps.

I’ll publish the fix in a (soon to be published) future post (or you can view it here ). One major bug left; the ability to post comments via feed readers. Working on it…

Individual Post Category RSS feeds were generating Http 404 errors for RSS subscribers ( fix is here ). Comments made to blog posts on the website itself were not generating Email responses;...

Here’s how: Add the following code to your [skin name] \Controls\BlogStats.ascx file: [asp:Literal ID="SystemUptime" Runat = "server" /] (use wickets instead of brackets of course). To your DotText.Framework\Data\DataHelper.cs file: using System.Diagnostics; public static BlogConfig LoadConfigData(IDataReader reader) {... PerformanceCounter...
