Good stuff, as usual.
I particularly liked Tom's tutorial on "Using CSV Strings in SQL" and
John/Holly's "The Practice of CSS Column Design: Custom Corners and Sides".
The "Creating A Photo Blog in PHP: Part 1" tutorial looks really good too.
Unfortunately, I can't even spell PHP. How about one in ASP or ASP.NET?

Hey Les,

Tom Muck wrote a series on building a blog at the COmmunity MX.com site, and although the pages talked about are PHP pages, the steps are geared so that they can also be performed for ASP and ASP.NET pages (also JSP and ColdFusion as well) in addition to
the PHP by using the built in serverbehaviors within DW. Here's a link that lists the parts of the series:
