One of the most annoying things to do is upgradinging this blog.  .Text to CS1.1 using Kevin Harder's converter read like it was straighforward, but it turned out it wasn't.  It's possible I missed some option to create a single stand-alone blog, because Community Server is geared towards one site, many blogs (photo albums and forums, too).  I wanted to replicate my single blog on my main url, not under some depth.  Seems like there's a lot of good in CS, but last night all I could do was get frustrated with it.

My goal was to migrate my base-url blog from .Text to CS.  I eventually found Dan Bartel's article on how to do a single blog configuration for 1.1, but not after completely messing up my directory structure.  Yeah, I know, I can just back out (which I plan to do) and redo it, since all of the changes are config files and not code at this point, but what's a blog for if not for kvetch?  Oh, right, as you might be able to tell, my css's hosed.

The Ideal Goal would be to get the multiple installs of .Text blog sites that I have on the server under one CS installation, yet still retain the individual URLs of these sites.  With the cursory look into the CS structure, it looks like I'll still have to have multiple CS installations, but possibly a single CS database.  I've a bit of trepidation in losing the authors of the comments when converting some of the more heavily commented blogs, though.  C'est la .net blogs.
