Overview
A Web Log is a Web page that represents a personal journal - a web log is informally referred to as a "blog". Blogs have frequent updates and individual updates are usually short. Some web blogs, like Slashdot, have a number of people working on them and provide a degree of interactivity by allowing readers to post comments about blog entries.
Blogs have become so popular that services, like Blogger.com, make it easy to create and update your own web log. Developers like to do things their own way and have the ability to create their own blog - this article discusses how to create your own blog using JScript .NET and using ASP.NET
Some features of the sample Web log include: * Uses XML to store blog comments * Uses the DataSet and FileStream objects to interact with the XML database * Uses XSL to display the blog * Combines XSL and CSS for advanced formatting
The blog is made up of two pages: one that displays the contents of the blog (the application's default page), and one that allows you create a new blog entry. You can view and work with a live demonstration of the application here.
