For some time I have been interested in alternative solutions for Radio and WebLogging. Here are the issues for me:
- Changing the date of a post, postdating or predating, does not seem to be supported.
- As an expert in Microsoft technologies, the means of customizing and developing in Radio is foreign to me and, therefore, cumbersome and slow.
- I would love to be able to use ASP.NET for my weblog so as to improve my ASP.NET skills.
- Any "framework" that I build up, such as a syntax highlighter or some such, I want to be able to take advantage of in other ASP.NET applications.
- I want to use a similar format for posting pictures and I don't seem to be able to get Radio to work for me in this regard.
In the past I have come across several alternatives that I would like to consider:
- One of those is the Community Starter Kit sample in the ASP.NET StarterKits collection.
- Another is to use Microsoft Sharepoint Team Services or Sharepoint Portal Server. The advantage of the MS tools is the integrated security support, making it a common solution for other Michaelis.net users. Of course the drawback is licensing.
- Lastly, there is squishyFORUMS. My hesitancy with the later is the SQL Server requirement.
Of course the most major factor in all this is time to investigate and develop. Hmmmm.....
