After a ton of work, it gives me great pleasure to announce the first publicly available release of ePortfolio, the easy-to-use content management system for ASP.Net websites.  I made the 2/15 deadline, even finishing a few days early which was good because shortly thereafter I got sick with a severe cold.  Thanks to the loving care of my fiancée, Cheryl, I'm feeling much better now.  You can download the software at my website, Communicate Solutions.

ePortfolio is a content management system I've used to manage several of the websites I've designed.  It was designed for brochure-style websites that use Microsoft's ASP.Net framework.  Unlike other CMS's, ePortfolio works with Microsoft technology instead of around it.  After running the simple installation wizard, you get a fully functional website that is easily updated without needing a degree in computer science.  If you do have a degree or some design skills, ePortfolio offers a simple UI for changing the nitty-gritty details of the website.  Click to read more about ePortfolio's features.

Now that ePortfolio is out there, I'd love to get some feedback.  I certainly have some ideas on how to improve it but I'd like to hear what you think.  Anything is game: installation, configuration, usage, bugs, and new features.  There’s several ways to give feedback: post on this blog, post on the forum, shoot me an email, or submit a trouble ticket.  If you give me some valid feedback, I'll give you a free license.

That’s right; I said the four-letter f-word, free.  I appreciate your feedback :)
