Upgrade of blog engine succeeded

by Damiaan Peeters 12. February 2012 22:23

After running my blog for almost 3 years on BlogEngine.Net version 1.5, I’ve finally made some time to upgrade to the latest and greatest BlogEngine.Net 2.5.  The only difference is that I reactivated comments using Disqus!

So, feel free to send me some comments, or catch me on twitter!

BlogEngine.Net SQL Update Script

by Damiaan Peeters 2. January 2008 14:12

I am using a great tool called SQL Examiner. 

Using this tool i created a "update" script for BlogEngine 1.3.  (from version 1.2).

Replace the "yourdatabasename" by the name of your database.

The new look and features in Windows Live Writer (version 2008) are cool.  Let's see if BlogEngine.Net and Live writer can work with embedded images.
