There was a saying at Microsoft for a while that to be a real team you had to write you own XML parser... luckily that time has passed. However it seems today that if you aren't writing your own blogging tool, then you aren't a real blogger.

I decided to play around this in my free time this weekend... basically I wrote a set of Xml serializable objects to define my OM. Figured out the basic features, and wrote a WinForms browsing and authoring tool. I got basic browsing, editing, comments (well, 50% of commenting), and categories working.

Finally I wrote a super simple web browser experience... no pretty formatting, RSS, links, etc right now. However I did write a converter to move all my Radio feeds into my new stuff.

I have no clue what I'm going to do with this, but it made for a fun weekend. I haven't been writing a lot of code lately :(
