One Last VisualBlogger Test Post Before Beta
Testing a fix for a bug in .Text's category posting ability. There WILL be a be a beta before the end of the day tomorrow. I spent all day today tying up loose ends, and making sure that, in most cases, posts won't get lost. I also had to move some of the settings to an app.config file. I have a lot more work to do in the "Settings" capabilities, but that will have to wait.

I'm wrapping up the last features for the first beta of VisualBlogger 2004. Wanted to give a brief status report on where I am at, what features it has, and what features are left to be done before the final release.

Screenshots and Update for VB2004
Made some major headway in the past 24 hours, so I thought I'd show off where we're at so far. As soon as Jamie Cansdale gets back from his week-long ski trip (lucky bastard), I can wrap up the VS.NET integration code. Just so you know, VisualBlogger 2004 will operate in two modes: Standalone and IDE Integrated. You'll be able to use this program just like Microsoft Word if you want, or you can dock it in the same place as the Output window in VS.NET, and blog from the dev environment. You could even use it as a real simple HTML editor if you want. We don't have any table support yet (don't know if we ever will) but you could always add those in manually.

VisualBlogger CategoryPost Test #9
The WinForms adventure continues. The CheckedListBox control has been giving me all sorts of problems. For one thing, if you put one in a TabControlPage, and then switch pages, it doesn't hold its state. It took me a little bit of experimentation, but I came up with the following code to help out:

BlogStudio(name already taken). You figure out what it is from there. -
Working with .Text Web Services
Did you know that you have web service access to your blog? You can find it at http://weblogs.asp.net/yourblog/services/simpleblogservice.asmx. I've been experimenting with it for my new BlogStudio tool, and I wanted to inform you of a couple things you'll need to know to get it working.

.Text Tip: Non-Mapped Folders
One of the things that I've wanted for a long time with .Text is the ability to have folders that are not mapped to the .Text blogging engine. Well, I had a great idea while I was in the shower this morning (all great ideas come while bathing, at least in my experience), and it proved to work famously. Create your directory, create a new web.config file, and add the following information only:

OPML Fix for .Text 0.95.2004.102
I was working on more upgrades to LonghornBlogs.com tonight, and decided to post a fix for the OPML.aspx bug that I blogged about earlier. This one is an ASPX page that uses inline script instead of a compiled class to do its dirty work. Just tate the “.txt“ off the end of the file name, and drop it into your .Text root folder, and you're golden until the next drop.

Scott Watermasysk is the MAN
Have you seen his new site yet? I'm so freakin jealous man, he's using the .Text API to power his whole site. I want it... REALLY bad. I'm going to have to dive into it and see what I can come up with. Also, ScottW has upgraded this site with my custom FreeTextBox build, so no more HTML errors when you edit a post. YAY! Two of my biggest .Text peeves are eliminated. Seriously Scott, can you be any cooler?
