I ran into a few problems with dasBlog when trying to get it set up.  Even though most of it worked, the HTTP Handlers weren't working.  I kept getting a message that one of the handlers "has a bad module "ManagedPipelineHandler" in its module list".

I moved some things around and tried to change up some things in the config  based upon this article.  That helped get the site up and running, but the handlers still work working.  Googling the error, I found that things could fix using some commands against IIS, but I don't have that ability since this site is hosted.

However, the good folks at DiscountASP did have an option that worked for me.  I could change the application pool from integrated mode to "Classic Mode" and everything worked smoothly.

Moral of the story, if you're trying to run dasBlog on IIS 7, try to do it in classic mode until the team makes the changes to run it under IIS 7.

Now to do some hunting for some different themes. I found a good article on creating your own dasBlog themes, so I may try to get to that eventually.

On an unrelated note, does it seem like Twitter is working as it should lately? The last few times that I've been on there it's been pretty good.  I don't want to jinx things but....
