Yes you can have categories and titles from BLInk!

Blink

Bliz has kindly agreed to play around with BLInk for a bit. Hmm – spell checking hadn’t thought of it! 🙂

I appreciated all of  his nice comments but just wanted to clarify something.

One thing he misunderstood was about the API limitation on categories and titles. That is only for the Blogger API. I saw the common workaround but could not get it to work from my application and finally ditched it. However, the Metablog API absolutely supports titles and categories. I also use dasBlog, as does Bliz and am posting with the Metablog API from BLInk! with titles and categories. No problems at all with that. I don’t have to go back to my blog and add those things in after the fact.

.Text and dasBlog support both APIs.

wow – programmers with boobs

Purely Personal

I’m sorry – is it just me? This is on the windows forms home page. “Just in case you didn’t know that there are chicks that write code, we wanted to bring your attention to this gorgeous woman’s chest.”

Then there’s that other picture we’ve seen a lot of that really cool looking chick in the green shirt. Something about that picture is all about her chest also. I double checked with a number of people when we first saw that photo over and over again during the MVP Summit and they all conferred that it was hard to see the rest of the photo. Something about her boobs – like she wasn’t wearing a bra or something – just totally drew your eyes (and mine – totally heterosexual woman, here) right to her chest.

I dunno – I just figure there’s got to be a happy medium here somewhere.
