The computer that’s serving you this blog is also my main hobby development machine. As such, I have a couple of test/development web sites on it, in subdirectories. However, I’m running dasBlog from the root directory.

As a workaround, I copy all the dasblog dll’s to each and every web application’s bin directory. Cludgy, but at least it allows me to get stuff done.
