Asp.net Repeater over Datatlist

If you are doing a div based css design using datalist , then to tell you the truth , the design will be altered anyhow , cause data list always enters a span or table right into your html code, for that reason i use repeater simple but yet powerful in this type of task.

Using a repeater is same as datalist , just you wont get any template time desing view. But that will give you a full control over your html , which is required in lot of cases.

Moving to Blogspot

I had a blog site of my own (http://www.mehfuz.com) , which is a php based solution. Sometimes, it used to happen that the server went down and all my blogs get lost, I had to start from the beginning every time the blog server refreshes. I realized that for blogging any personal service is no good solution.

Still, i was too lazy to sign up any free blogger account , till i found that google users can log in to blogger with their existing account and decided to switch to Blogspot and say good-bye to my hosting service forever. :-)
