Another good idea abandoned

Well, that jquery blogger plug-in really sounded like a good idea…the only problem is someone else has already beat me to the punch.  After doing a little bit of googling, I discovered this Blogger ‘widget’ - http://ycouriel.blogspot.com/2010/02/add-c-code-formatter-widget-to-your.html.  If you add this “Widget” (which is just a fancy word for included javascript file that is externally hosted at a publicly accessible url), you can format sections of code using a ‘pre’ tag, like so –>


using System;
class SomeClass {
/// <summary>Initializes a new SomeClass instance</summary>
public SomeClass()
{
}
}


How amazing is that!  Anyways, as someone else has already written a script that does exactly what I wanted my new “open source” blog library to do, I’m no longer going to continue work on that project.  Instead, I’m going to step up development on skyNet, an ASP.NET MVC 2.0 application, so expect  some posts on that soon.
