CS Recent Blog Post Sidebar

This is a UserControl I wrote because I wanted to show the most recent posts for a specific blog littered throughout my site.  Place this control in a directory and reference it like a regular user control. 

<%@ Register TagPrefix="BR" Src="~/UserControls/RecentPostsSideBar.ascx" TagName="RecentPostsSideBar" %>

<BR:RecentPostsSideBar id="fdr_rp" runat="server" EnableViewState="false" Title="Recent Podcasts" AppKey="podcast" />

• AppKey -- the name of the blog you want the most recent posts to appear.
• Title -- the text for the header of the content area.
• PageSize -- the number of records to show, defaults to 5. 

The snippet above will pull the most recent 5 posts from the blog called "podcast" and display them with the title of Podcast.

Weird Al released a new song.  If you haven't heard 'Ridin' by Chamillionaire's, i'ts a good song well worth listening to.

This is more a post for me, because I was getting tired of searching for these little software gadgets.

Community Server Event Model

I thought I'd post out a link the cojax source code viewer for all versions of CS.

Here is the one I actually needed.  It is the list of all CS events and a summary of what triggers those events.
