It's taken a while, but I finally found a blogging system that I liked.

ThinkJot is an ASP.NET 2.0 version of the latest release of the dasBlog engine. The reason for the split is that when running under ASP.NET 2.0, your site is running by default under "Medium Trust" rather than "Full Trust", which was the case in .NET 1.1. If you're running on a shared host as I am here, you'll probably find that it is running under the default security settings. No problem you think ... well, try running dasBlog 1.8 under "Medium Trust" and you'll find it doesn't work! It turns out that even things such as the date picker used, did some things that needed to run under Full Trust. For the full story go to the blog.

That's where ThinkJot comes in. It was simply a rebuild and tweak to make it ASP.NET 2.0 and Medium Trust friendly. I pass my thanks on now to the guys at Process64 who did this, you saved me a job!
