Peter I've just got a quick question.  Are there any plans to implement something like the blogger API?  That way it would be a lot easier to "Blog on the fly" without actually having to keep a list of things you want to blog about throug out the day to two browsers open all the time.

I keep up with news through the day using RSSBandit and SharpReader.  With these I can post comments to other peoples blogs, post on del.icio.us, and track with tecnorati  but I can't do anything but look at my own posts.  It would be a big boon to people like myself that blog a whole lot.

If not that's OK too I still really really like this module, especially the trackback feature.  :)

Thanks.

Paul,

not so easy to give you an moderate short answer,. but will I try it.

Yes this is one of the feature which I would like to see in this blog module.

Will it be in the next version ? I don't think so. Currently we (specifically I) have the problem that it is not clear how the future of DNN looks like. That means how long does we support a DNN 3.X (NET Framework 1.1) style version and when will be the move to the new DNN 4.X style (NET Framework 2).

The new Framework 2 and the new development environment VS2005 includes a lot of extension which makes it much more easy to implement features like blogger api and pings to blogger.com and so on, so that I would like to implement these features at a time when it is not longer necessary to support two different platforms.

Because there are a lot of feature which I would like to see in the blog module which do not need the new feature of  NET Framework 2 my priority is to implement those feature so that it is easy to support 2 different versions (3.X style and 4.X style).

I have finished at the moment the first version of the blog module which is running dedicated under NET Framework 2 and VS2005 .

I plan to release from next version on two versions, a 3.X style and a 4.X style version (if we have a deployment strategy until then ) and both versions should have the same functionality implemented.

regards

HP

Make perfect sense to me.  Backward compatibility can only be kept for so long before it starts holding the project back as a whole especially if you are having to write for the old version what already exists in the next. 

Right after my last post I just happened to check the downloads and found the new version had been released.  I love the new management features and importing worked perfect from the live site to the dev site I've currently got it installed on.  Tomorrow I'll be upgrading the live site with your new version.  Great work!  It's the number one used module on my site and for me users followed closely by the gallery.  Now I've got to figure out how to localize it for my German, Slovakian and Norwegian users. The Chinese are on their own.  :)
