• What Has Happened to BlogML?

  
  By Keyvan Nayyeri

  It’s been quite a long while since the last update on BlogML site and whole the project has gone silent. Unfortunately there were some reasons that stopped us from further work on the project and not responding to contact requests and bug reports.

  Today I spent some time on outlining the main reasons for this long stoppage in BlogML lifecycle and why there has not been a new release for almost two years after version 2.0.

  Following to our partnership with other projects including NDepend, BlogEngine.NET and Subtext, now I'm pleased to announced our fourth partnership with another .NET project which is Argotic Syndication Framework.

  Argotic Syndication Framework is an open source project licensed under The MIT License and leading by Brian Kuhn.

• Refreshing the Library

  
  By Keyvan Nayyeri

  Earlier today I wrote a post on my blog about upcoming major changes in BlogML library for .NET in version 2.5.

  In this post I explained my reasons that yield to this decision to make the usage simpler and let developer write their codes for BlogML easier.

• Merill Fernando Migrated From DasBlog to BlogEngine.NET with BlogML

  
  By Keyvan Nayyeri

  Two days ago Merill Fernando published a blog post on his blog to describe his migration story from DasBlog to BlogEngine.NET with BlogML as the migration tool.

  Merill isn't the first guy who has migrated from DasBlog to BlogEngine with BlogML but he has a new way for his own that he has described in the post.

• Code Metrics for BlogML 2.0

  
  By Keyvan Nayyeri

  A short while ago I announced the partnership between BlogML and NDepend tool as a static code analysis tool that lets .NET developers analyze their code and improve it.

  I also used BlogML 2.0 code to write a review about this tool on DotNetSackers community that you can read here.

  I thought it would be interesting for our users and other .NET developers to read about some code metrics of BlogML 2.0. You know that BlogML 2.0 has been the most stable version of BlogML and its .NET library has been a good example of a very well-designed component for .NET 2.0 that can run easily on Mono (to be ported to Linux and OS X) and has a very simple and clean design.

  Hopefully I will publish a list of code metrics for BlogML 2.5 after its release to let you compare these two builds and see how BlogML is improved between two versions.

• Graffiti Supports BlogML Out of the Box

  
  By Keyvan Nayyeri

  A short while ago we migrated BlogML official site from Community Server to a new Telligent product, Graffiti, which is an ASP.NET powered CMS that targets simplicity to enable online content publishing in a great way.

  Since we migrated the site to the first public Beta version, Telligent developers have been working on the product to release the second Beta and now Beta 2 is out.

  The good news about Beta 2 is including a built-in migrator tool that supports some source blogging engines including Community Server 2007, WordPress and of course, our open BlogML format.

• BlogML is Recommended By Coding4Fun

  
  By Keyvan Nayyeri

  Coding4Fun is the official weblog and replacement of the famous and popular Coding4Fun section of the MSDN that is hosted on MSDN blogs. You may know Coding4Fun as a very popular section that had some interesting information about coding funny programs with .NET platform and other Microsoft development technologies. This blog contains latest news, articles, information, tips, tricks and related stuff to the Coding4Fun that is now moved to this blog rather than a separate section of the MSDN.

• BlogML Team Mailing Group

  
  By Keyvan Nayyeri

  During the past 3 years of BlogML existence we've experienced that there are lots of questions and issues for our users and they ask them from us on forums or private emails. However, regarding our limited time answering to questions and issues wasn't easy for us and usually we've been unable to answer these questions and issues and follow threads.

  I thought one of best ways to collaborate more with our users is creating a mailing group for all team members and announce it publicly so all users can send emails to this alias and ask their questions and team members can answer to them whenever they can.

• Review: NDepend

  
  By Keyvan Nayyeri

  Recently I announced our first partnership with other projects which was with NDepend static code analysis tool.
