A Blog for Graymad

Time for another informal security poll...

After my post on editing blogs from within SharpReader by navigating to one's blog home page, I figured it might be worth trying other methods.

For all those asking for the ability to edit your blog from within SharpReader, the ability is already there. Just subscribe to your own RSS feed, and when you're ready to add a new blog (or edit an old one) select your blog in the Subscription pane, then select an entry, and finally click the hyperlink that contains the title of your blog (not the title of an item, but the blog itself). You'll be taken to the home page for your blog, where you can click the Admin link and do all the normal stuff.

I just realized that I can, with the ASP.NET Community Starter Kit, easily create a new site for a given domain while the current site is still running at the same domain name, thanks to the magic of host headers, and the fact that the CSK allows communities to be configured at the subdomain level. So while the current production site is running at www.mysitename.com (and just mysitename.com), the new site can be set up at new.mysitename.com, allowing development and testing without requiring a lot of extra work, and without disabling the current site. When I'm ready to put the new site into production, all it will take is changing the target directory of the site in IIS, and changing the subdomain in the ISPAdmin section of the CSK from 'new' to '*'.

OK, so perhaps I misunderstood Keith somewhat. He was quick to point out that:
