Flock, Flock, flocking

Till now, i had no reason to shift to a different browser. I mean, what the hell, IE does work right? And most of the web administrators do keep in mind IE, considering the number of persons using IE. So why did i have to shift? No, that does not mean i support one browser and dont want to support others. The point i am trying to make is, IE works, and i get my job done. And now comes along flock.Of course, in Firefox, i had options of downloadng plugins or writing new plug ins for myself, but should it not be part of the package. Searching for plug ins would have been a downtime. Anyway flock looks like a good add in for me. Helps me create blog posts.(This blog post is being written using Flock).

Looks are REALLY goood. Have to try out all the features, but till now i still doubt whether this is a beta (looks pretty stable to me, till now atleast).

Theming in Whidbey using CSS

Continuing my blog titled Themes in Whidbey . I would like to mention some great points I did find out today about Whidbey featrures. How many times have you got sick of developing Sites which have themes???? I mean every page u create has to have, maybe in ASP, something like <link href="<%=Session["ThemeFile"]%>.css"/> I have been doing since a long time. Do mention if you have a simpler method of defining a variable CSS for your page!!! Whidbey simplifies this further. Now in ASP.NET, all you will have to do is Create Themes directory, if not aldready present, Create a directory for each theme required, maybe Black, Gray,etc. Dump your CSS files into this directory. in Page_PreInit method define the Theme as Page.Theme="<Theme directory Name>". Further can be made into Page.Theme=(string)Session["ThemeType"] and viola, your theme management is take care by ASP.NET When you want to change the theme, the...
