Today I had my very first Tech Friday. I spend it on the further development of Blogo.NET. It's been quite a productive day. Below are some early screenshots (click to enlarge):

The blog's homepage is pretty much complete. The sorting is correct, paging works server-side, and all links (except the header links) work. The sidebar has been extended by a dynamic overview of tags, articles and an archive:

 Upon clicking a tag in either the sidebar or below a blog entry, an overview of blog entries for that tag is displayed:

Upon clicking the "All articles" link in the sidebar, the list of articles is opened:

Upon clicking a month in the sidebar archive, the list of entries for the month is displayed:

Finally, upon clicking a blog entry anywhere, a simple representation of the blog entry is displayed. This part still needs work:

Furthermore, I have been refactoring and optimizing major parts of the backend code. Next steps are building the comment panel and admin screens.

On a different note, I'm observing some bizarre behaviour. I am developing Blogo.NET locally and have Firefox set as my default browser. Blogo.NET produces compliant, clean markup as taken from a cross-browser open source CSS template. As I'm developing, I got used to how Blogo.NET behaves in Firefox. However, after I opened up Blogo.NET in IE7, it turns out to be like 10 times faster. I have no clue what is causing this difference, do you?

Finally, congratulations to my brother and his girlfriend for their engagement!
