When it comes to my blog I never wanted to use any of those ready made tools even though I knew those tools had everything needed and fully featured. All I wanted to do was to build it from the scratch ... just to feel good. I even started developing the second version ages ago but never got a chance to complete due to the busy scheudle and seems like never will be able to :(

Last Sunday started working on customizing BlogEngine.NET for another site and I'm suprised by the simplicity it gives when customizing the UI. Within 2-3 hours I managed to change the entier UI to the new look and feel I wanted. It was simple and clear.

Right now i'm thinking of migrating my good old blog to BlogEngine.NET ... any thoughts guys?

Well! wishes are not for you or me, it for our .NET User Gruop. Yeah! guys it's beign 2 years. We started the whole thing in July 2004 with Merill leading the team and our good old mentor Ed Guiding us. We have continued the meeting every month expect last October where we had the TechEd and this February where we had the VS Launch.

Due to the busy schedule I actually forgot about this. Otherwise I would have atleast brought a cake to the Today's User Group Meeting. A Big thanks to Jinath for reminding this.

It really feels good to be a part of something important.

Guys and Gals ... checkout this cool blog. http://deppcharge.blogspot.com/

It's a little bit over one year for my blogging experience. Woo! Hoo!

Finally got my hosting sorted out to .NET 2.0 ... well! its a new hosting. ... so very soon i'll be putting up welasharp.net 2.0 on the new server powered with .NET 2.0 with couple of enhancements.

It's been a great year with my blog, got to know lot of new friends through the blog. It was always a happy moment(s) to see the encouraging comments. Over 100k hits within 1 year is a big number. I think publishing the imageineCup stuff made lot of hits. "ImagineCup" is one of the top search keywords which brought tons hits to my blog.

Thanks to all my friends who gave me valuable suggestions to enhance the blog. ALSO a BIG thank to all my friends and unknown friends who commented.

Hmmm! Good old memories :)
