Mar 28, 2007 The new blog engine is well on its way and almost ready for its beta test. We’ve added
extra features that weren’t on our original
feature list. The features include:
- Pingback and trackback support - Almost done
- Pings services like Technorati, Ping-O-Matic etc. - Done
- In-site search engine - Done
- OpenSearch support in both HTML and RSS - Done
- Editable standalone pages - Done
- XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant - Done
- Section 508 compliant - Done
The name
The only thing missing is to find a great name for the blog engine. The name should
reflect some of the key features such as:
- Lightweight
- Full featured
- Developer friendly
- Plug ‘n play
- Extendable
- ASP.NET 2.0
If you have any idea for a name, please drop a line in the comments.
Teaser
Before the end of the week, I’ll upload the beta project for anybody to take a look.
It will be full featured, but not tested for stability and performance issues. As
a teaser I can tell that the solution consists of two Visual Studio projects - the
website itself and a business logic layer. The theming works by editing directly in
a master page and a user control. That means that it has full Intellisense support
and can be extended 100%. Each theme resides in its own folder as we know from other
blog engines.
