.NETWeblogs upgraded - finally.

Weblogs.asp.net has upgraded to the next version of Community Server. Finally!

Thanks for all your hard work guys.

Ads on blogs

One of the upcoming changes to weblogs.asp.net will be that there will be ads on the blogs of *new members*. That is, existing member's blogs will not change one bit, but new bloggers that will join the site will have text ads on their blogs.

Filtered Main Feed

The main feed for the site will only show specific tags related to .NET, ASP.NET etc..

and there will also be a "full" feed that has all the tags from everyone, in an unfiltered manner. That should help bring down the noise ratio in the main feed, and I can certainly live with that.

That way, no one is "censored" and the community can live on in many different directions, a cross section of which can be posted on the site.

The current list of tags that will be posted to the main feed is(learned here):

.NET
NET FAQ
AJAX
ASP.NET
Atlas
C#
Commerce Server
Community News
Content Management Server
General Software Development
Mobile
Orcas
Sharepoint
SQL Server
Vista
Visual Basic
Visual Studio
Web Services
WinFX
Windows Forms
Avalon
WPF
WCF
WWF
IIS
Infocard
CLR
BCL
Crossbow

Still in learning mode

I'm still learning the quirks of the new system myself, so my blog may have various changes over the coming days. My apologies for any browsing problems this may cause (which it shouldn't).
