• JK.com -- Feedburner Pro Enabled

  I posted a while back about the Feedburner MyBrand service ...I've been taking it for a spin on some other low traffic feeds and am nothing less than blown away, so JK.com is now Feedburner enabled and ready to rock. Community Server 2007 has built in support for Feedburner out of the box; it's as simple as plugging values into a couple of textboxes, flipping a switch or two, and blammo...syndication feeds are burnerized. What that all means is that the transition should be seamless for existing...

• Linked To By Wiki -- Note To Self, Write Better Articles

  I recently noticed a reasonable spike in traffic around here a few days ago; turns out an entry of mine got linked to by a Wiki article (no, I didn't make the link from Wiki myself ;-)). The point of this entry isn't to garner kudos or pat myself on the back (of course the ego points do make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside). The point is that the article that was linked to mentions in passing the point: A breaking change in the .Net framework from 1.x to 2.0. If you were to go strictly by the title...

• Feedburner MyBrand Service -- Brand Your Feedburner Feed

  I've had a Feedburner account for a while now, but have been reluctant to throw the switch on my site's feeds over to it...while I may not have a huge circulation (and therefore no "brand" to adhere to), I'd like to keep what little recognition I do have in my feed address instead of the generic feedburner.com/whatever, i.e. my name (or in the case of clients, their company name, etc). Feedburner now offers a pretty impressive array of services, so I was in the process of giving in and started to...

• Yet Another Weblog To Make You...errrm, Nevermind

  Well, I had an elaborate post all planned out to announce a new personal blog I'm starting (need to keep work and play somewhat separated) and was going to use Live Spaces...only to find out over the past couple of days just how much LS absolutely blows. Last night I arranged all my widgets on the site, got my colors and layout all purdy and whatnot, only to stumble across a couple of severe limitations of LS Blogging this evening: You cannot delete any of the predefined categories. You cannot (permanently... Posted Nov 10 2006, 03:48 AM by Jayson Knight with | with no comments Filed under: Being Jayson, Metablog

• BlogMailr Is Now Live!

  Via Ken Robertson (aka the man behind BlogMailr): Yes, BlogMailr is now live! Check it out for yourself at blogmailr.com . So what is BlogMailr? It is an email-to-blog service for everybody.

If your blog supports posting tools like Windows Live Writer or BlogJet, BlogMailr will work for you. Enter in a little bit of information, such as where your site is, and the username/password, and it will automatically...

• jaysonBlog Turns Three

  I cannot believe it's been 3 years since I first decided to build my own blogging engine as a coding exercise one lonely night back in 2003, and here I am still pounding away at the keyboard in an attempt to keep my 5 loyal readers somewhat entertained. The most notable thing that happened to my site was that traffic congestion finally forced me to move it off my home network and over to a real hosting solution. Site content also noticeably started going more towards the Community Server end of the...

• Bon Voyage Weblogs.Asp.Net Feed

  During my last round of Rss feed pruning, I finally deleted weblogs.asp.net (it's been a long time coming). Too many of the following: Duplicate posts about the same news item. Posts linking to other posts on weblogs.asp.net essentially saying "yeah me too" or "so-and-so posted about the following." Posts that are locale specific (i.e. speaker in blah part of the country type stuff). AJAX related fluff posts. I'd say out of 20 posts, maybe 1 of them actually piques any interest from me anymore. Nothing... Posted Oct 27 2006, 10:22 AM by Jayson Knight with | with no comments Filed under: Technology and Internet, Metablog

• New Content Section Added to JK.com

  I've created a new section on my site to aggregate external content that I read on a regular basis: My External News Feed . This is similar to the old CS2.0 Roller application, except that configuration is much more flexible. It's more of a way for me to keep up with the most common external sites I visit, but if you want to check out what I read on a regular basis feel free to have a look.

• First Post Via Windows Live Writer

  Kevin Harder recently sent out an email to the Community Server internal alias with a link to Windows Live Writer (beta), which is a new desktop blog posting tool from Microsoft (I currently use BlogJet for all of my posting needs, but so far I'm very impressed with the WLW GUI from what I've seen). Installation was painless; there's an option for Community Server as your blogging platform so it pretty much configured itself. Gotta love that. I don't think Dmitry over at BlogJet will be too happy... Posted Aug 14 2006, 12:19 AM by Jayson Knight with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: Technology and Internet, Links and News, Metablog

• Forty Days And Forty Nights...All In About An Hour

  Anyone who lives in the Georgia/South Carolina/North Carolina regions of the U.S. no doubt know that we got absolutely hammered Saturday night by storms (Charlotte was especially hard hit, as was the Raleigh area). I’ve seen some storms in my life, but nothing like this…I don’t have the exact stats but it rained harder than I’ve ever seen for an hour straight (hence the title of this post) along with non-stop lightening (several trees in the immediate area got struck) and...
