A New Blog Live

by Chris 7. March 2009 11:44

So, it was bound to happen sometime...our faithful server that has been serving our sites, blogs, and applications for many years finally died early January Frown

Further, the bad luck also made the hard disks dead, leaving most of the data (blog posts, etc) but a memory. Once again, we were reminded of the importance of backup, and if you read this suspecting you are not covered, please take my advice and do it right away!

Anyway, now the brand new server is up with the latest of hardware (quad, of course) and software (all ending with 2008 now), and it feels great. When I came to setting up the blog once again, I realized that the one I’ve been using (dasBlog, thanks for serving well) was missing a few things that I wanted. I made a short study of the market, and found that BlogEngine.NET by Mads Kristensen was what I was looking for. I’ve spent the day setting it up. Installation was a breeze in 2 minutes, and the rest of the the day was spent configuring everything how I like it, and putting back posts.

I’ve posted some of my older posts (the once I could find on my laptop) just to see how everything works, and now I’m ready for posting on some new stuff again.
