CSBlogs : Adding a Common Tasks Quicklink to Blog Posts

It's the little things, as they say, those little pain-in-the-butt unnecessary clicks or keystrokes that if we can do something about them, we should.

Last night's CSBlogs annoyance was having to enter my blog URL on new comments.  That's done.  Today's annoyance is not having a link directly to my administrative blog posts page from the sidebar Admin Quicklinks menu.  I don't know about you, but I find myself going to the blog posts page often to see what's happening with my posts, at which point I'll add a new post to the dbvt.com family.

First add the Hyperlink to Skin-WeblogQuickLinks.ascx and the following code to CSBlogs\Controls\WeblogQuickLinks.cs, with a \lang\resources.xml item.

HyperLink BlogPostsLink = FindControl("BlogPostsLink") as HyperLink;
BlogPostsLink.NavigateUrl = 
BlogUrls.Instance().AdminContentList(CurrentWeblog.ApplicationKey,BlogPostType.Post);
BlogPostsLink.Text = ResourceManager.GetString("Weblog_Quick_BlogPosts");

I think that's all of the CSBlogs annoyances on today's list.  Will keep you posted.
