Another step toward getting things where I'd like them to be. A few weeks ago, I added direct links to the source blogs on blog-specific tag pages, like the tag pages for QTicker World , QTicker Seattle , and GaySeattle . But there's a different way to access site-wide tags and I couldn't figure out how to do the direct link for technical reasons that I'll explain below. While looking for something else, I found a post on the Community Server forum that tells me exactly how to make those links. The problem arises because the page showing sitewide tags uses CSControl:IndexPostData...

Again, the slowness of whole process has embarrassed me. It took way too long, but I've finally figured out how to get the custom menu items (Qblog, Qnews, Qyou) on the main navigation menu to become highlighted most of the time when the blog is selected. It's all extraordinarily simple, even in the method I used. I suspect that it could be made simpler still, but I haven't yet figured out how to do that. I'll trace back. It was obvious that I needed to do something with a class called CSContext. In his great CS Developer blog , Keyvan Nayyeri gives a rundown of the class here ...

Well, now... That was a major effort for what looks like a minor change. I now have most of the public pages running on a new page design. It doesn't look all that much different than it did before, but the process of making the change was a highly effective learning experience. I feel much more comfortable now with asp.net inheritance and CS's implementation of it. One most helpful step was to modify Web.config (after saving a good copy, of course) to make it generate more complete error messages. The process of doing that is explained in the brief error message that was appearing before...

Of course, as in any relationship, the first enraptured flush of infatuation gives way to the more difficult part of building a solid relationship. As often happens, the first problem for me came after meeting the "family". It can be tough figuring the family tree of inheritance, and forgetting a cousin's name can lead to problems. So, yes... I've been getting the cold shoulder, as it were, as I try to go beyond the first stage this relationship with asp.net and CS. I have the home page changed to a new theme based on the supplied CS "Basic" theme, but redone to look...

This blog has turned into a bit of a dev diary for the awkward background process of creating this site. And since it's become a bit diary-like... What's a diary without a mash note, so here goes: So I'll say it: I'm falling in nerd-love or at least heavy nerd fondness for this CS system and asp.net. I'm not yet ready to replace the current home page with the reworked version, but I've been working on the new version without (as far as I can tell) breaking the current version. And I've been doing it with in the no-no process of making changes on what will become the...
