So I've finally decided to start a new blog about my photography exploits and other adventures I choose to share. But I am discovering that what I want is not always what is available on the web for a decent price (read: free 
).
I currently have Community Server running at the root level of this domain (http://www.nekomitech.net), but I find that it looks clunky and it makes a huge hit on my meager server resources. So I am trying out BlogEngine and I am pretty happy with its performance and the clean look of the available themes. But there are always more features that I would like.
For instance, I like photography. I would like to share the photos with my friends and others who are interested. As an aside, I hope the photos look okay. I decided to use the Gallery control from Paul Tumelty. That User Control had the features that I wanted and it is simple enought to use. I would have love to have EXIF support like in the PhotoHandler control, but I will either have to figure that out on my own or wait for BlogEngine PhotoGallery Subsytem to be available. Another issue is that I have Lightbox enabled here but apparently Lightbox does not render in FireFox. So I guess I'm writing my own BlogEngine Extension to support SlimBox, a LightBox clone built on the MooTools SDK. Apparently, SlimBox has more browser support.
Ugh, working on this site reminds me of my day job. I resolve one issue only to find others that need attention. 
C'est la Vie.
