After several years of developing custom web application software, I've decided to try and sample the Open Source offerings out there. Since musch of my experience lies with ASP.Net and C#, I decided to start there, though not before marvelling how easy Blogger and WordPress are to start using. Wordpress is literally three steps:
- Modify configuration file
- Upload to web server
- Run installation script
I won't go into the process of setting up a .Text site, but needless to say, it's more complicated. So why stick with it? Partially to understand how it works, and to mix it up and make it better. So, after some amount of egregious hacking, I've totally reworked FlexWiki into a recipe database, and put together this weblog. Next will be reworking the previous software I worked on to handle all the photo gallery duties. Just from now on, FlexWiki developers, can we agree that putting HTML tags in Response.Writes in C# code-behinds is not the best solution?
