Opening this page my chrome 12 totally halts for >10 seconds. IE9 handles the situation better, but the amount of requests and page load time stays the same. Most of the requests are to Facebook and Twitter. I tried on two different networks just to be sure that this is not an issue on my network. Maybe some room for improvement here?http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment49http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment49Mon, 16 May 2011 09:02:11 GMTJake, Thanks for letting me know. But there were a few other reasons to want to write our own blog engine. I'll put all of them in a future post, but the essence is that: a) using RavenDB properly means that you can't really hide it behind a data layer (more accurately, the RDBMS data model that the data model exposes wouldn't be a very good option for RavenDB). b) we wanted a _RavenDB_ sample app. c) it is easier for us to make changes and modifications to our own stuff, which we know and built to support our own needs.http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment48http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment48Sun, 15 May 2011 06:28:39 GMTAyende, just to let you know a few devs from Australia have been working on a blog engine solving the same things that Racoon does, except for the RavenDb backend of course, we already are working on being able to select a database provider. Please have a look at http://www.funnelweblog.com/. Our stacks are pretty much the same, MVC3, Razor, nHibernate, Autofac, MEF (we have an awesome extensibility model) and markdown for both posts and comments. Seems silly to have two blog engines which are so close to each other in terms of goals :) http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment47http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment47Sun, 15 May 2011 03:13:42 GMTRam, I don't see it, but it is possible, we played a lot with the url re-write scenarioshttp://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment46http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment46Sat, 14 May 2011 07:03:06 GMTYou need to host RavenDB somewhere, it can't run without RavenDB. And RavenDB will not work in partial trust env.http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment45http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment45Sat, 14 May 2011 07:02:24 GMThttp://ayende.com/blog/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog The webpage at http://ayende.com/blog/4837/and-nowhellip-raccoon-blog has resulted in too many redirects http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment44http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment44Fri, 13 May 2011 18:05:38 GMTIs there a trick to get this to run in a partial trust environment?http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment43http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment43Fri, 13 May 2011 13:45:29 GMTGeoff, Yes, I fixed this nowhttp://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment42http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment42Fri, 13 May 2011 07:43:24 GMTI'm getting the same articles appearing in Google Reader every day, in a flood of new posts. I'm presuming this happens every time you deploy a new version, which could get annoying considering your rate of development...http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment41http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment41Fri, 13 May 2011 07:40:48 GMTHarry, We put a LOT of time into making sure that comments ported over nicely. I am willing to accept that some of them won't convert nicely, as long as the vast majority of them doeshttp://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment40http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment40Fri, 13 May 2011 06:42:45 GMTI've been going back through a bunch of the previous posts and taking a look at them in the new blog. It's actually really nice. The new markdown comments actually work on a lot of old comments. The bullet points and a lot of code just work. There are some catches, though. See some of the comments towards the end of [Answer: Stopping the Leaks](http://ayende.com/blog/4827/answer-stopping-the-leaks). I doubt there is much that can be done about this, though. http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment39http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment39Thu, 12 May 2011 23:33:09 GMTWyatt, You could do so, since this falls under the OSS license, the entire thing fall under the AGPL license, basically.http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment38http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment38Thu, 12 May 2011 14:10:30 GMTHow does raven licensing work for this product- - as in let's say I wanted to run my personal blog on this platform.

Not even a difference in case allowed. You must 301 redirect case differences to the canonical URL so that all wrong external links still get you link juice. http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment30http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment30Wed, 11 May 2011 17:17:28 GMTRyan, Thanks for noticing, fixed now Victor, Ouch! That shouldn't be there, and it will be removed http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment29http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment29Wed, 11 May 2011 15:48:12 GMTVictor: +1 It's funny you actually get flac when you write your own blog engine. It's a well understood problem domain which is of limited scope but not too trivial, can help you in understanding yet unknown technologies and in this case dogfooding your own products. Did the same thing myself 2 years ago, and I'm fairly sure there may be a version 2. Sadly, Winhost stated it wouldn't host RavenDB, otherwise I'd probably go for a fubumvc or openrasta + ravenDB combination. http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment28http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment28Wed, 11 May 2011 15:35:22 GMTSad trombone: if (Session == null) throw new NullReferenceException(); [github.com/.../AddCommentCommand.cs#L31](https://github.com/ayende/RaccoonBlog/blob/master/src/RaccoonBlog.Web/Commands/AddCommentCommand.cs#L31) http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment27http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment27Wed, 11 May 2011 15:24:52 GMTGetting the yellow screen of death on [http://blog.hibernatingrhinos.com/](http://blog.hibernatingrhinos.com/) Tear :-'( http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment26http://ayende.com/4837/and-now-raccoon-blog#comment26Wed, 11 May 2011 15:17:45 GMTApril Fools!
