Last month, I attened the Microsoft Publisher's Summit out in Redmond. I have to say by far, the presentation by Robert Scoble on blogging was the most worth while out of all. I have intentionally avoided blogging for one reason, I already have enough to do. The way I look at a 3 day weekend, is it gives me an extra day to catch up on work. Now I am sad I've been missing out on this wonderful world of information.
So after 3 days of failing to get the latest version of .Text running (DotTextHelper just gave me errors and couldn't find the source), and failing to modify Community Server into a single blog site, I finally tried the old version of .Text and it works just fine. May I never have to mess with it again...
I also have installed NewsGator and have been very happy with it. I configured a blog roll (thanks Sean Gerety for the help) and I am now in business.
