Indeed. It was some excellent free code. The only ASP I've run before, but very very easy to setup. It taught me a few things for how simply code should be to install.
I threw the forums on in a hurry after a quick search for CF code revealed (or so it seemed) that CF forums were either costly or low on features.
I'm sure this isn't actually true, but I didn't have time to wait at the time. Can someone prove me wrong by posting a few links?

No worries. Didn't really mean for this thread to come across as advertising.
The long history short is that I created a CF blogging tool of my own more than a year ago (just a few rough features and pages). After realizing I liked blogging, but needed a real tool, I looked around at all of the CF tools I could find (again, a year ago, so there weren't that many).
I liked some features from some, but not from others. I liked some of the features from Moveable Type and some of the other non-CF versions. So I started coding. I use the tool myself on the three blogs I run, and it works quite effectively, which was the original goal #1. At some point a year ago, I thought that others might get use out of the code I had created.

Yeah, absolutely agree. I've downloaded a number of CF apps of varying purpose lately just to see how things work and what their install process is like. As mentioned about the WebWiz forums, the install process was amazing, and prompted me to reduce the BlogFusion setup steps to nearly none.
I really hope the next version of CF Server does a better, more documented job of handling service.Factory stuff so that users have to do very little, if any setup when installing new apps!
