If you have not seen one of the other 5 million postings on this, there is now a
security patch available for
BlogEngine.NET. This weekend an issue was reported where an attacker could obtain the username and password of the site. Thanks
BlogEngine.NET team for the quick fix on this!

If you have ever had your site running on BlogEngine.NET end up looking like this screenshot -- try disabling the 'Trim Stylesheets' checkbox under the 'Advanced Settings'. From what it looks like, this may be related running BlogEngine.NET in a shared environment or medium trust (here for more info).

After starting this website as a real blog just a couple of weeks ago,
any number of visitors has been extremely welcome. I was very happy to
have about 30 unique hits a day with hope that, over time, others will
find this site useful. Recently, however, I posted a link to a color
theme for visual studio on dotnetkicks. That post made it to the front page and eventually generated way more traffic than I ever imagined that it would...
I realize for some people 1000 hits in a couple of days is nothing but I was shocked to
see that kind of traffic from
dotnetkicks, especially for a
Visual Studio 2008 Theme.
Break down of page views.
Graph of my average of 30 or so hits a day up to a peak of about 700 back down to 70s-80s.
Needless to say,
DotNetKicks has a lot more visitors than I thought it did. I wonder what kind of traffic volume people receive for a more
globally useful posting...

For the past couple of years, I have been using a blog engine that I wrote from scratch (login system and everything). I knew there were a million of these already out there but it was something I was going to use as a learning experience (it was something I was using as a way to learn C#). It worked great and let me do everything I needed to, however, I have not updated the code in forever. My style of coding has obviously changed a lot since then. Instead of updating the code base to be more efficient and test-driven, I decided it was a good time to stop re-inventing the wheel. I'm now using Blog Engine.NET.
Over the next couple days, I'm going to be migrating some of the content over (some of it is just not worth it) and maybe make my own theme.
