Hello,

I've got a list of features I'd like to see that I feel are important:

1.  Comment security feature - this feature will display a randomly generated alpha-numeric gif.  When posting a comment, the poster will be asked to enter the security code to authenticate which will prevent autobot posts - which if you have a successful blog can cause major pain.

2.  Skinning of some sort - choose from x,y,z default skins, then allow for maybe up to three personalized text/html boxes which might be strategically placed and integrate with their personal image database - allowing each user to choose their own skin

3.  Friendly names for blogs - (not sure how to accomplish this other than to create an alternate dbtable that is cross referenced with the actual page id - end result - http://www.domain.com/blogname

4.  Ability to put blog list, and possibly other blog components on alternate pages - Currently, if you put the blog list on another page (copying the module) and click on a specific blog, the target is the current page.

5. Blog linking/associations - If two people share similar interests, etc. they one may link to anothers blog with permission

6. Links section by where a blogger can post catagorized links to various sites

More to come I guess but that's it for now.  I'm probably asking for quite a bit here.... ;)

Best,

John

I posted this in asp.net and in a comment here. I hope Hans is working on it ;)    nah, just feed me on how to do it and I´ll post the code.

I want to change the way you display Archive. Right now, it is a list of links.

My idea is to make it work like DNN Links module where there is a panel with two controls: one data list and one dropdown. Both are populated by the same datareader.

I tried, I could see the drop down, but got an error because could not populate the dropdown because I do not know the appropriate field names.

The reason I have to use a drop down is because I have 100+ months and it will definitely grow up to 1500 months.

HP,

Another simple and must need addition when you are syndicating is the embedded rss link:

<LINK title=RSS href="http://ctmo.com/Default.aspx?tabid=36&amp;rssid=1" type=application/rss+xml rel=alternate>

This way the readers will automatically pick up on it - not sure if this should be a core mod since everything allows for syndication or specific to the blog module...
