Site Upgraded to Community Server 2007
Last night, I upgraded this site to Community Server 2007. The upgrade took a while as this site requires changes to the CS codebase and other tweaking. Other than that, the upgrade went OK for the most part and there are a couple of issues to work out. With this upgrade comes three new Community Server downloads:
Community Server 2007 Contact Form Add-On
Community Server 2007 StrongCoders.CSJobs
Community Server 2007 Shipping Blog Skins with Ad Support
The contact form is the one I use on this site, so it also doubles as an advertising inquiry form.

Congratulations to Blake Niemyjski for winning the
1000th Registered User Contest
. He now has a copy of Infragistics NetAdvantage 2006 Volume 1 with Subscription. This is just the beginning of more exciting stuff. Stay tuned for more details to come.
So far, this site has done pretty good for a small site with over 900 registered users. I thought it would be cool to have a contest for the 1000th user who registers for this site. So, I'll be giving away Infragistics NetAdvantage 2006 Volume 1 with Subscription to the 1000th registered user. Good luck to all.
