Adventures in blog generation

I have wanted to run my blog posts through a static site generator for a while. For a little bit, I made my own engine with RazorViewEngine templates in C#. That worked fairly well for rootbeergames.com. But that's super simple. Now I'm trying to build my own. I wanted something fairly portable and…

IEnumerator Cloning

A word of warning. I'm about to show you something you should probably never do. I really enjoy using LINQ in C#. Much of it is founded on IQueryable and IEnumerable types.
