Craig asked me in mail, and on his blog, about the move from GDN to a .Text based solution...

When I first started working on BlogX I was just trying to understand blogging. After I made some progress I felt like sharing the source with everyone, and I really wanted to participate in a community development effort. Unfortunately a combination of my interest and a spike of work (uhm, yeah, the PDC took some time <G>) caused me to not make any more progress on BlogX.

I looked around for someone to take over for BlogX and Dare offered to take over. Dare surveyed the land and quickly realized that there were many blogging efforts going around - .Text and dasBlog being two of the major .NET based blogging solutions. Dare's decision, which I supported, was to instead of continuing yet another .NET blogging solution, to "close the doors" so to speak on BlogX.

The source is still freely available, and if anyone wanted to pick it up, they are more than welcome. However, right now I'm recommending people participate in either .Text or dasBlog if they want to contribute.
