Well I thought it would be a bit rude if I was harp on about Umbraco, and then not use it for my own blog!  Actually the main reason for moving, was so I could tinker more with v4.5.1 and have a place to develop packages etc.. without ruining an important site. The move was fairly easy, I just exported everything from BlogEngine.N...

I thought I would show proof is in the pudding and move all my posts and comments from my blog to a new install of blog4umbraco using this package. Video below but has no sound.

This isn't really a blog, just me posting up some code that I always seem to forget!  If you are not using Linq2Umbraco and sticking with Nodefactory (Shame on you), then you can still make use of Lamba Expressions and do some cool stuff with the data just using Nodefactory Sorting Nodes By Created Date // Get the latest BluRa...

If you are having problems using ASP.NET membership within Umbraco using IIS7 with use Directory URLs set to true then this should solve your problems - Some of the issues you will see are Unable to create / login users Login status not working Membership Methods Returning Null This is the problem: Default behaviour for i...

After I wrote the newbie's guide to Umbraco, its been kind of hard to come up with anything as half decent as that - In fact looking at my last posts, its been hard to come up with anything decent full stop lol!  As still the Umbraco community is thriving with literally 100's of excellent blogs on more advanced topics, I thought I would ta...

I'm a bit of an XSLT whore, and even though I detest the annoyingly verbose language - I have to admit parts of it are starting to grow on me.  Sort of like how the ugly girl in the bar starts to get more attractive, the more alcohol you consume.  The same applies here, the more I use it parts of it have started to become more a...

In my mission to learn ASP.NET MVC I have been watching the BRILLIANT videos from Scott Gu's session in Manchester about MVC 2, I downloaded them all in HD from Vimeo and started to watch them - Its over 3 hours long, and I found myself wanting to go back to bits to watch again because I forgot syntax or tips he gave out but couldn't reme...

This is purely to gauge numbers on who would be interested in attending Level 2 training in Bedford UK, if we get enough interest I'll email Niels and see if we can arrange something?  Here are where my offices are based and I'd be willing to host the event for both days if we can get a trainer over. Office Location In Bedford ...

Well I'm currently sitting on the train on my way home from a great day in London at the Umbraco 5th birthday bash.  I had a great day today and actually really learned a lot of stuff from the great speakers - A great part of today was putting faces and voices to the tweets and posts, and finally meeting the 'other' Lee who's other h...

Well I finally got round to finishing the first version of my business directory, as those who follow my waffle on this blog will know - I have been looking at porting my ASPLD (ASP.NET Link Directory) over to Umbraco for a while, but just never had the time. But as everyone is pulling their fingers to celebrate the 5th Birthday of Umb...
