New Pocket PC Blogging Software Release (Update with details)

On the weekend I finally got around to installing the 1.0 version of Community Server (it's surprising how smoothly that goes when you actually read the installation notes). I then added the MetaWeblog support (which in this version is an add-on, somewhat to my chagrin) and set to work testing The Application Once Called Pocket Blog Writer And Now For No Particular Reason Called Diarist.
In doing so I found a couple of bugs which I'd missed in my earlier testing, so I've posted the fixed version on my aspxconnection pages.

The ReadMe has been updated with relevant bits about the current Community Server release, so I strongly urge anyone who downloads the app to read it (the ReadMe file I mean).

And I'll just finish with a reminder that it also works with .Text, Blogger (although not as well as if it used Atom), BlogX, BlogSphere and dasBlog. So there you go.

I've done pretty much all I want to do with it for now (although I might get around to adding that Atom support one day): it's odd how much work I ended up putting into something that just resulted from mild frustration at not being able to blog from my Pocket PC while I was at Tech Ed in Auckland last year, so now it's time I got on with other things. While I'll be pursuing more Windows Mobile projects and making available online any that I think people might find useful, I'll also be blogging about a broader range of topics than I have for the past 6 months or so: There are for instance a couple of “How-To” pieces (one ASP.NET and one Avalon) that have been gestating for a while and should see the light of day soon.
