Today, tinyshed.net is up. It is powered by BlogEngine.Net (ModPack version).

BlogEngine.Net is an open source .NET blogging project that was born out of desire for a better blog platform. A blog platform with less complexity, easy customization, and one that takes advantage of the latest .NET features.

ModPack is a custom BlogEngine.Net to run on restricted web hosts.

Being a developer, I think I should have a permanent space on the net. Hence, the creation of this site.

This site will contain anything but primarily about asp.net development and .Net technology.
