Technical Specifications
 

Blog Web Page

     The blog is an ASP.NET DataGrid using the ItemTemplate to create the formatting of each individual entry. Each entry is stored as a row in a SQL Server 2000 database with columns for the title, text, creation date, and the user ID of the person who created the entry. The code-behind page retrieves a DataView from the middle-tier and assigns it to the DataSource property of the DataGrid. No extra HTML has to be created for a new post. Just a simple database row!

Blog Entries

     As mentioned above, each blog entry is just a simple database row. To create/edit an entry in the database, I've written a Blog Management Console. More details are available on the Projects page.
