First Mango Post
This is my first post on my new Mango-driven blog.
Over the next week or so I'll probably start posting some of my experiences with Mango, as well as some of the changes that I made to the core of the product in order to finish off a few things and make it work like I want it to (including automatically generating the heading images using CFIMAGE. Overall it's been a good process.
And thanks to Angela for the hip (and still in progress) design :).
Working on a Mango Conversion
I got a little nudge from the Transfer group the other day about my ASP blog for ColdFusion code :). Well this blog has been around since February 2002 (if you can believe that) with almost no architectural changes. I've changed the display a bit here and there, but it's essentially the same ASP code I wrote 6 friggin' years ago...
So with that... I'm working on converting my blog to Mango. It's not quite as mature as BlogCFC, but the theming and templating seem easier to work with, and overall the interface just "feels" more finished. So far I'm enjoying working with it, and I've made a number of adjustments and filled out some features that were admittedly incomplete (looking at source code).
I'll hopefully have it finished by the end of next week and I'll be fully CF'ified :)
