“Blogging” is a long story for me. When I first started blogging here my only intention was to share some of the stuff I discover during daily development. Actually it is still the only purpose of this blog but as I started writing in Turkish and started a Turkish blog I found myself focusing on Turkish content more than English. Of course the reason was obvious. The English content on the web is much richer comparing to localized Turkish content and what I wanted to do is to help the poor in some meaning.

During the last 6 years I used “DasBlog” as my blog software and it was amazing! It never crashed or caused any problems both on my English and Turkish blog. It was incredible to have thousands of posts and comments saved in XML and still have the same great performance! Thanks for all the help DasBlog! But now it’s time for some fresh upgrade!

I’m starting with a new blog that I wrote! Yes! I had some free time during my summer vacation and started coding the blog you read at the moment. (and I know it sounds geeky to code during the summer vacation but it’s fun and yes I do have life :)) As you see I’m pretty inspired by the Zune software interface and Metro UI. Hope you like the new look!

Just a little reminder about one the great features of my blog. When you navigate to the archive you will see that the list contains Turkish blog posts as well. I know I have a lot of readers on my Turkish blog who can’t read Turkish but figure out the topic through screenshots and code snippets. Now you will find an in-site Microsoft Translator :) who can help you. Give it a shot and tell me what you think!
