Hey, look at me - I'm dog-fooding! I've just uploaded a new version of SingleUserBlog, the first since before it went open source, way back at the start of September. There have been quite a few changes to the code since then; just check out the list on codeplex.
Some of the changes I made have just been migrating changes I'd already made into the mainstream codebase (hence only just upgrading), but the most exciting changes are new ones.
We've got Windows Live Writer support, including uploading images:
Friendly urls are also very cool - instead of http://sticklebackplastic.com/Posts/Post.aspx?postId=3a1ca8b7-8012-44f5-84a7-82556a0e373e, we get http://sticklebackplastic.com/2006/9/3/SingleUserBlog+goes+Open+Source.aspx. Much nicer.
There's even rudimentary support for attachments.
There's still plenty to do (especially making it easier to install)
The only downside to the upgrade is that the change to friendly urls has changed all the guid/links in the rss feed, so it's duplicated all of my posts in IE7's feed reader. Sharpreader hasn't had a problem with it though. Oh, and I've lost some of my web parts customisation in the sidebars - it'd be nice to get that back.
Still, good stuff, and I'm very pleased. Hopefully, I can keep it up-to-date as more changes come in.
