Dotnet.org.za Subversion Access

In the past the maintenance of this site has pretty much been a one man show with the sad effect that when I'm busy very little is done in terms of updates or additions to the site. As one example - it's a shame that months after the upgrade to Community Server 2007 the site is still running...

Homepage Cleanup

After having a look at the main page of the site and the relevant site overlays on Google Analytics I decided to make some changes to the home page tonight. I removed all the unnecessary links and irrelevant stats and instead just rendering a clean post list of the last 25 posts. (To remove the cached...
