I added a ''Most Popular Posts'' mod by J-O Eriksson to my blog today.  I may add it to the BibleStudy blog as well. Even though J-O followed with another post pointing out that there is a native way in CommunityServer to obtain similar functionality, I definitely like his module due to the fact that I don't need play around with ...

I've been using Microsoft Outlook for a long time -- since the OL97 days, in fact -- and I've gone through all the different incarnations of the nefarious Outlook/Inbox Rules Wizards.  Currently, I'm using Outlook 2003 at home and work, with one test system running Outlook 2007 at home. While a number of improvements have been made in the ...

Every now and then, for reasons that I have yet to pin down, when I make a blog post, it will be available for a few minutes, and then it will generate an error if I try to reach it directly.  It will be fine enough to edit, and it will show up fine on the home page of the blog, but not with a direct link.

Windows Live Writer is turning out to be one of those tools that I can't live without, much as I originally suspected.

Okay, it looks like I was able to get everything working on the site in terms of Community Server modules.

By mid-September, ...

This is a test of a new blog autonaming CS Module that Jarda Jirava produced, based on a thread I started over at the Community Server forums. I know I've said it before, but I really, really love this community. Now, let's see what name my lovely post gets! (All things considered, I'm really happy that I upgraded to ASP.NET 2.0 last week, ...

Today was a looooong day, with plenty of learning opportunities.  As a result, this is a loooong post, with plenty of opportunities to induce boredom. Anyhoo...  This morning, at 5:45am ET, I violated one of my very own technical deployment rules and decided to upgrade my main website (this website, in fact) to ASP.NET 2.0, just before ...

After a long bout of troubleshooting, we finally made the determination that the reason why the Community Credit Add-on for CommunityServer.org wouldn't work on any of my installation, is that it is a .NET 2.0 application, and I've been running CS on .NET 1.1. The sad part is that it didn't occur to me to ask about that key differentiator until ...
