I've been working on a new design for my blog... The themes that are packaged with BlogEngine are great but I'm wanting something a bit more personal. I'll be working on that this weekend. I'm also moving servers this week so there will be some down-time but this will also allow me to update BlogEngine to the latest and greatest version.

I was running through my list of blogs and I ran into "Create a Facebook-like Ajax Image Gallery!" by John Katsiotis. In John's post he shows how to create an image gallery - it's quick and easy - but more importantly he utilizes the new ASP.NET AJAX History feature. That means you can use the back and forward buttons on your browser to go back and forward through the AJAX calls.

And on another note, LessThanDot has published a collection of ASP.NET Hacks in 18 categories (currently) including: Caching, Email, Encryption, Validation, Files and others.
