dasBlog is the engine I have been using over the past year on my web site. Besides its low cost (free as beer), and a tendency to be a reliable blog engine, I also like it because it uses XML files rather than a database to persist information. The release version has been running on the .NET 1.1 Framework for quite a long while, and despite a teaser tag on their home site insisting that the new 2.0 version would be released in a matter of weeks, dasBlog 2.0 has actually taken a much, much, longer time to come out.
But now the wait is over, and I plan to upgrade to the newest version sometime later tonight. As sometimes happens, this may entail the complete collapse of the site and the loss of all prior blog posts — but I’m keeping my fingers crossed and maintaining a positive attitude about it, for such is the price of progress.
Supposing that I am successful in migrating to the newest version, I don’t plan to post a review of the qualities of the new platform since, in this case, the medium is very much the message.
Ahhh. Finally took care of my problem with html in the
comments.I have scanned a number of of the articles on your internet site now in addition to The Price of Progress, and I genuinely value your manner of blogging. There is no smoke without a fire and in that respect there are no remarks without posts.
This pertains to The Price of Progress. As there are divergent blogs with altogether contrasting views, they all confront your thinking. It is at these times when you wish you had not begun surfing the World Wide Web. There is no smoke without a fire and in that respect there are no comments without postings.
