Just a quick shout-out to the wonderful and amazing people that developed this software, BlogEngine.net.  For anyone who doesn't know, BlogEngine.net is the premier blogging platform for .NET and Windows hosting.  As a programmer and developer, I can appreciate just how much work and effort went into this thing.  And for being free software, it is nothing short of excellent.  So thanks!
