CodeBetter - the new .NET blogging place
So, a few (actually, rapidly becoming more than a few) bloggers have defected from DotNetJunkies blogs to a new blog destination called CodeBetter (as opposed to mine which could be subtitled 'CodeWorse' :-) ). Lots of good blogs over there including Brendan Tompkins, Geoff Appleby and Darrell Norton three of my favourite bloggers...so good destination (I know Geoff won't let that place become too serious).
One of the most interesting bits for me is that the site uses the new Beta of CommunityServer:Blogs , the successor to .TEXT - looks like the time is rapidly approaching to update this old clunker too (though I'll probably wait until 1.0 - need the source dude!)
Ooh, wonder if they'd let me cross-post some of my more code oriented posts?
UPDATE:  Apparently not...I can take a hint...sniffle...

Bzzzt! Give the man a wooden spoon!
*laughs*
I thought so too, until I asked today.

Codebetter is actually running .Text 0.95. It's just that they've written a nice default skin, and it looks strangely like the standard one for CS:Blogs, but a few differences are there.

Thanks for the kind words tho :)

Aah...that's how they could move the posts! Ah well, looks nice though!

Scott - your blog is not CodeWorse, CodeAboutTheSame maybe. :) Just kidding!

Brendan and I wrote up a little utility that brought over all the posts, comments, etc. We had to use the metaWeblogAPI (sucks) to grab our content and then copy it into the database using ADO.NET. Pretty simple.

Interesting - I'm planning on setting up a CommunityServer:Blogs site on this server (which handily sits in my flat) - so I'll post any code which may be useful for transferring posts between .TEXT 0.95 (which mine kind of is - well it used to be :-)) and CS:Blogs Beta; I realise that ScottW has already posted that there'll be an upgrade path for the final version but we're developers damnit!

Off topic, I know, but what did you use to create the graphical "enter the code you see" spam guard?
