DISQUS

[Disclaimer: I work for Telligent and manage the Graffiti team]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the review and feedback.

While we are very confident in the product, as you mention it is still beta 1 and we have some nice things slated for beta 2 and the final release.

A couple of responses to your review:

* By default, we do treat posts and pages the same. However, if you add a new .view file called page.view it will be used to render the post. There is actually a pretty deep set of overrides which can be used to control how a single post/page is rendered. This is one of the areas we believe non-developers will find helpful since it requires no code to use.

* IMO, the #1 thing that makes chalk more appealing over C# (or PHP) is the lack of context switching. For the most part you can simply write HTML and then decorate it with chalk. With the exception of an if or foreach it is usually all very readable.

* As for the price tag, please note that Graffiti is free for personal use.

Thanks,
Scott

I am thinking of doing the same thing and will likely go the new domain route. I have learned a lot in nearly 5 years of blogging. My life and focus have changed quite a bit and for me, I am looking forward to a new site with a fresh start.

Hi Neil,

Just wanted to let you know that we made the posted by blogmailr optional and off by default.

Thanks,
Scott
