Hello All
I am very new to ASP.NET and C# but getting there, slowly :-)
Anyway, I created from scratch my own blog application locally using C#, ASP.NET, VS2008 and SQL Server 2005 and it worked great. I would type a username and password into the required fields, it would validate this against a database using SHA1 encryption and forward me on to an admin page where I could add/edit/remove posts as I wish. When I published it to my webserver there seemed to be a few issues which I covered (mainly the IIS issue where you have to click the Create button).
When the main domain is visited it starts at default.aspx where the posts get showed, then when Admin is clicked it sees your not logged on and forwards you to login.aspx (default and login are both in the root folder). The admin.aspx is in a Secure folder which is protected by forms authentication using a web.config file in the root folder only.
After some tweaks and chang ...
