I’ve decided to update my blogsystem as I felt that the old blogman_v2 CFC didn’t meet todays blogging standards any longer (no trackbacks, no comment spam filtering, no trackbacks, no tags etc).

Within one working day after reporting some minor issues with Blogman V2, I got an email from Bryan F. Hogan with the fix. Thanks Brian!

Just a quick report that there are some minor issues with the RSS feed and comments. I’m looking into the problem now. (I most likely changed something which I should not have done)

This weekend I upgraded this site to Blogman V2. The upgrade was relatively easy and I am happy with the new stuff. There is a nice upgrade feature that imports all the old posts and comments into the new system. I had to spend the most time on adding new features and making the move […]

My first experiment with video blogging. Just very basic with a Flash MX Professional 2004 component. A FlashCom backend is on it’s way as well as a better application for you to see archives etc.
