The Monsters have Landed

AlsMonsterOver the weekend, while I was working on the BlogML support for BlogEngine.NET, I decided to take a break and do some blog reading when I ran across Alexander Schuc's MonsterID HttpHandler.

I thought it was fun as well as a very nice and modular implementation.  Just add a few files to your project and then reference the new handler to display unique monsters based on your seed.

AlsMonster2 I decided to drop what I was doing and implement it on my blog.  It didn't really fit with my Indigo theme however, so I made a new one as well.  So in addition to the MonsterIDs, I have a new theme as well.  I like it a lot so I'm glad I took the time to make the new theme to go with the monsters.  The new theme is based on 'Refresh' by styleshout.

If you'd like to see your MonsterID, go ahead and leave a comment or head over to Alexander's site and check out his demo.

We'll get this option included in the BlogEngine.NET sometime soon.  I've got to clean up my implementation and make some options for using it.

Very cool stuff. Can't wait for a BlogML importer so I can make the move from wordpress. But my goodness my monster is ugly!

I love the monsters and love the new theme.

Will the theme be available as part of the standard blogengine themes, or possibly as a download?

Andrew,

As of right now, I can't make the theme available as it requires items that I haven't integrated into the main project yet.  (Life has been crazy busy this summer.)

I expect however that the MonsterIDs will be in the 1.2 release due in September and I'll probably make the theme available around that time as well.
