Enabling anonymous comments in CommunityServer::Blogs
Anonymous comments aren't enabled by default in CS::Blogs. However, I
found this great post by rmorlen on the CS Forums that seemed to solve
it:
This is what I did (help from this forum):
1) Go to Admin | Settings | Configuration, and in the Anonymous section, set Enable Anonymous Posting to Yes.
2) Go to manage the blog that you set up and set Enable Anonymous Posting to Yes.
3) Go to Default Permissions for the blogs, modify the Everyone role, and set the Feedback permission to Allow.
In addition, there seems to be a bug in the administration view (it doesn't show the posts as...

OK, I think I now have anonymous comments enabled. Feel free to comment now.

Pretty? Or just working?
We get a lot of, "MSDN isn't sexy", "Those pages are ugly" from people both internal and external to MSDN. Does our look matter? Isn't it all just about the content, or do you want something jazzier? Something "happening"? Or, just a blog with technical stuff? Oh, and I promise, whatever you ask for -- no Flash.

I could play with this all day
Finally looked at Gizoogle. I've been having fun 'translating' MSDN pages ever since, like The D's latest in MSDN Magazine:
Remember'n User Information in Visual Basic .NET

Science news
LiveScience has rapidly become my favourite science news sites
(sorry Nature). Not only do they have an RSS feed, as all good sites
should have, but they also have a weekly quiz that has me hooked. Add
on top of it top 10 lists like, "Top 10 ugliest animals" and now, "Top
10 Creation Myths". While I was hoping for the addition of Big Band-Planetary coalescense, but the brief and amusing descriptions of assorted cultures' creation myths was a lovely distraction.

Utterly incredible CS skinning tutorial
Stuart has saved me. This tutorial has covered everything (well, a lot of) you need to know to make Community Server blogs look just like you want them to.

Would this help you at all?
<a HREF="/photos/kents_images/picture7.aspx" target="_new"><img src="/photos/kents_images/images/7/thumb.aspx" align="left" />I'm considering putting a "Site map" page on the ASP.NET Dev Center. Would this help you in using the Dev Centers? Is it just another example of me adding stuff that confuses the issue?

Is your site secure?
Had yet another great lunch with the incredible JD today. OK, there
were four other people also having lunch with us, but JD is amazing to
watch. His enthusiasm, passion and knowledge fill the room. It's almost
infectious. Anyway, we were discussing two of his works of art -- Building Secure ASP.NET Applications and Improving Web Application Security.
I found it amazing that so many people don't know about those two
books, even internally. So much incredible value, from great planning
and "how to" information, to checklists that you can go through to make
certain you've done everything you need. Read them. You don't have to
go page...

Respect yourself, protect yourself
Worth spending a little time (10 minutes or so) to give yourself a
little piece of mind with your browser? Try the Browser Security Test
-- 37 security tests designed to hack into your browser and your life
-- in a relatively safe way. Fortunately, it says that I have:
High Risk Vulnerabilities0
Medium Risk Vulnerabilities0
Low Risk Vulnerabilities0
Granted, I'm too afraid to try it without the SP2 firewall and numerous pop-up blockers enabled.

Meet the new boss, (not the) same as the old boss...
In an attempt at our ongoing efforts to confuse everyone coming to MSDN balance the knowledge and workload at MSDN, we have shuffled a few of the Developer Centers around. While I will still be working on the ASP.NET Developer Center, I am reliquishing my duties on the Visual Studio Developer Center. The good news for all of you is that this means that Brian Johnson, one of the authors of "Inside Visual Studio" will be moving in. As you can probably guess, he knows far more about Visual Studio than I ever will, and I'm certain he will take...

Just like the old place, but different
Well, I've made the first step towards moving my blog from the (yes, I'm childish) disliked URL to here. As you can see, I've installed the Community Server from the fine folk of Telligent Systems. I love it (and them) and hope it will provide me and many others with much enjoyment. I'll think about migrating my posts at some point, as well as adding galleries, forums and the other CS stuffage. Soon.Yeah, right.TTFN - Kent
