Made pretty good progress over the past few weeks.

• Converted to MVC2 with no major headaches.
• Reduced scope from all-purpose content management system to basic blog engine that works with webcomics as first class citizens
• Refactored to use Repository pattern for model access.
• Implemented several Repositories using Entity Framework
• Got tired of Entity Framework (the current, shipping version)
• Re-did all Repositories with Linq To SQL
• Got main bits of the blog functionality working
• Create blog entries
• Editor or Admin must approve before display
• Display blog
• Admin settings to display Extract or Full Content (for most recent post or for older posts)
• Paging of archive
• Working on Basic Page functionality
• Began working on import functionality

Once I finish the Basic Page functionality, I will add the Comic functionality. When that reaches an adequate state I’ll set up an Alpha test website.

During the Alpha phase I will continue to add functionality and refine the UI.

Once I reach Beta status, I’ll begin to convert existing sites to use the new blog engine.

When things are looking good I’ll release the code as an open source project, probably on Codeplex.
