A .Text question...

I have a little question about .Text, a little problem that I'd like to solve...

Is it possible to do a Blog backup and tranfer in some way?

Explanation (I hope it coulkd be more clear): If I have a blog (based on .Text engine) hosted on (for example) weblogs.asp.net and I want to trasfer the entire contents of it an other my blog on (for example) www.dotnetjunkies.com/weblog, how can I do it?

Is there a way to perform this task? Any ideas?

Blog Software Breakdown

Really interesting... This chart displays attributes of different user-installed blog software packages side-by-side for comparison (only server-installed scripts will be included in this list).

I reccommend a check and (maybe) contribution.

Microsoft.com Hacked and Defaced

I saw this notice only yesterday evening: Microsoft Press website has been defaced by an hacker group named "Outlaw Group". Fortunately seems that they've not create too much problems, only some little writings on the website (as you can see below):

Official communications about this hacking and about why it tooks place? Maybe someone has forgotten some patches? Not good...

Securing Wireless LANs Guide from MS

An other interesting free guide from Microsoft: Securing Wireless LANs with PEAP and Passwords.

This guide is designed to help small- and medium-sized organizations protect their wireless local access network (LANs). This prescriptive guidance will assist you in planning, deploying, testing, and managing a wireless LAN security infrastructure using Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Pocket PC 2003.

This updated guide uses passwords to authenticate users and computers to the LAN instead of digital certificates.
The solution uses industry standards such as 802.1X to ensure broad interoperability. Windows XP Wireless Auto Configuration and the Microsoft Active Directory directory service help to minimize the complexity of installing and managing the solution—many of the more complex operations are automated in scripts that are provided with the guide. You can also install the solution entirely on existing servers in your environment to keep costs low.
