If you come to the site, you may have noticed that the blog looks a little different. We finally got around to installing the SharePoint Community Kit on our SharePoint server. Some reasons for the upgrade were:
- We had a huge problem with spam comments. Some people got hundreds a month. The SharePoint Community Kit lets us add captcha to the comments.
- Also with comments, no more hacking to get names and emails. Excellent.
- The blog templates have been updated to match the Vertigo site. They look MUCH better now.
- Feedburner support! You’ll notice that I changed the RSS feed over to a Feedburner feed. If you are subscribed to my blog currently, please change over the FeedBurner feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/vertigobellis. The old feed will continue to work, but this one helps me keep track of stats and stuff without so much hacking and guessing.
So that’s about it. A big thanks to our in-house crew for upgrading. As with everything SharePoint, it was not a pain-free process but it seems to have worked out. Let us know what you think.
