After quite a long time of wrestling with side-by-side .Net 1.1 and .Net 2.0 web sites (and now WPF/E) on my server, I finally took the plunge and upgraded my blog to SubText. I figured it would take me a couple of hours. Uh-huh. It took 10 minutes, thanks to Phil Haack's great import code he included to import my now-old .Text-based blog. He would probably give credit to others, but if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have a .Net 2.0 blog engine running on my web server, and better yet, one that I can post to from a number of sources that I could not with the old .Text engine. This is being posted from Word 2007 on my Dell e1505 Vista Notebook. So, out with the old, and in with the new. Thanks, Scott Watermasysk for all you did for the .Net blogging community with .Text!
Update: Windows Live Writer indeed works with SubText -- it never did with .Text! Now I can easily post from my workstation with Windows Live writer, or my notebook with Word 2007. Another plus without having to do anything! Lovin' Life...
