Flickr Gallery for BlogEngine.NET 1.4 Released!

published 3 months ago, submitted by DannyDouglass 3 months ago

dannydouglass.com — My apologies for the delay, but I have (finally) put together the release of my Flickr Gallery for BlogEngine.NET, or any other website for that matter. BlogEngine.NET users should understand this is not a typical "extension" where you drop a .cs file into the App_Code directory. It is a stand-alone section that can be dropped into your BlogEngine.NET instance. You can see an example implementation live on my blog at http://DannyDouglass.com/Photos/. read more...

published 5 months, 23 days ago, submitted by DannyDouglass 5 months, 24 days ago

dannydouglass.com — After four days of ASP.NET AJAX training with Stephen Walther I set out to learn more about my options in choosing a solution for a JavaScript/Ajax framework. If I realized days later I would be writing this comprehensive post on 7 of the most popular frameworks, I may have just went with the "Inny-Minny-Miney-Moe" method! I decided to share my research, analysis, links, resources, and personal grade for each of the frameworks compared - jQuery, YUI, Prototype, Dojo, MooTools, Ext JS, and Script.aculo.us. I put together a comparison matrix to illustrate where many of the frameworks differ... read more...

Silverlight Media Applications - Slide.Show, Video.Show

submitted by DannyDouglass 8 months, 7 days ago

dannydouglass.com — In my previous post I announced an extension for BlogEngine.NET that utilized a rich Silverlight application called Slide.Show built by Vertigo. It was one of three products in their ".Show" line - the other two being Video.Show and Family.Show. I'm only going to discuss the first two as I plan to focus on the media sharing applications offered by Vertigo. Both applications are open source (available for download on CodePlex) and are cross browser compatible (IE 6 and 7, Firefox 2, and Safari 3). You must first download Silverlight to view these applications. read more...

Social Bookmarking & RSS Feed Widget

submitted by DannyDouglass 8 months, 21 days ago

dannydouglass.com — After just releasing a social bookmarking extension that included a generic user control and BlogEngine.net version I stumbled across a new widget provided by AddThis.com. I had noticed the widget on sites like dezinerfolio and a post on a game being delayed from ign.com, but never really looked into it. Well, turns out the beat me to the punch and offer a nice little service that allows you to create an account and grab a widget for RSS feeds and/or social bookmarks for individual posts. They offer several different button styles, and even a javascript dropdown-style beta widget which you see on each of my blog posts at DannyDouglass.com. Take a look at the different button styles that are offered... read more...
