CS Nuglet: Taming the 2008.5 Blog Post Excerpt

If you go with excerpts on a Community Server 2008.5 blog, they may look funky and you may wonder why.  Wonder no more, because CS2008.5 excerpts are now in HTML format. I would think this has to be an oversight in CS2008.5, but haven't seen anything... [More]

Adding a CS2008.5 SDK picture to what Bill said

Good introduction to the Community Server 2008.5 SDK from my friend Bill Bosacker.  I mentioned in my last End of Week Community Server Riff that I upgraded to VS2008 specifically because of CS2008.5 compile issues in VS2005, so I can concu... [More]

Using a Configuration File with CS2008.5 Navigation Menus

I'm upgrading some of my client sites to Community Server 2008.5, and have nothing but good things to say about the latest and greatest version of Community Server.  I'm even feeling okay about navigating around in the Control Panel, and that's sayin... [More]
