My blog has been Qgyenified
As Thomas Freudenberg said yesterday there are a lot of add-ons for Community Server. And many of them are already working on CS 2.1. I just realized I am running 3 of Ken Robertson's modules on my own blog, and I think they are really useful.
Qgyen.Lightbox
Enabled you to insert clickable thumbnail or miniature pictures in your blog, that pops up similar to a modal dialog, and shows the original or larger size version of the picture. It has a Flickr integration that enables you to use a Flickr Tex Part to insert the picture. Click on the picture below to see it in action.
Qgyen.AllCommentsRSS
RSS-enables your list of blog comments, to be read in a RSS reader. It also adds action links at the bottom of each comment for you to directly from your RSS reader view, disapprove, or delete the comment. Much more convenient IMO that having all these notification in your ordinary mailbox.
Qgyen.ExtendedURLMapping
Enables you to map an URL within Community Server to another. For example you want to run your blog at the root instead of under the /blogs directory, and/or one photo gallery at a subdomain instead of under the /photos directory. It has a very easy configuration for adding mappings.
So you could say my blog has been Qgyenified. At the moment I don't run many more add-ons on this site, except of course the CS MVP's Alabaster package.
