Personal Blog ASP.NET Web Control 1.1 is a custom web control library that enables you to drag a drop the control on one of your web site pages and write your own personal blog.

I've decided to create this control despite the fact that there are a lot of ready to use blog engines, because all them required you to install a whole site with all the files and configurations, while all I wanted was a simple way to add posts to my web site, no users management, no extra pages, menus or web configuration files, just to write some posts on on my page once once in a while.
The control is very easy to use, and requires only 2 simple steps. Drop the control on your web page, and set the directory attribute on the attributes pane in Visual Studio.
On the other hand, almsot every attribute is configurable so you can changes the colors and styles to match you own page style.
You can change the behavior of the control, the buttons and information to display and more.
The control saves all the posts to the local file system in a way that no directory traversal is possible, and of course you avoid the need to configure database or protecting yourself against sql injections.
