Getting There

I am starting to feel quite happy about my weblog - the basic functionality, including categories, index by month and comments, is implemented and seems to work.There are, however, two pieces of functionality that I would like to incorporate in the weblog: The ability to do a text based search among blog entries and generation of a syndicated web feed from recent entries.

I have been using the weblog for almost a year now and though there are not that many entries, it is becoming increasingly cumbersome to refind old entries. I have used the Apache Lucene search engine ("I Love Lucene") for projects in the past, so I will probably go with that, once I get around to doing something.
BTW, by browsing the Lucene pages, I just discovered that .NET ports of Lucene exist. The Lucene resource page lists NLucene and Lucene.Net to choose from.

In regards to syndication, I am currently looking at Rss and atOM utilitiEs - ROME. I did a small test and in 15 minutes, I had generated a feed from the 10 most recent entries - pretty easy. I need to do a little fine tuning concerning file paths and encoding. The special Danish characters currently does not come out right in the feed.
