This dilbert explains a lot, but it perfectly explains the CMS (content mgmnt software, blog software, whatever you want to call it).
Panels 2 and 3 are exactly how I feel about the sitch.

All CMS /Blog software sucks! 
** wordpress -- php-based - worst of all worsts!
** drupal -- php-based
** joomla -- php-based
** dot net blogengine -- I had high hopes. Can't add a simple page that is hosted but is not managed by the blog engine. Why?
** dotnet Nuke -- overly complicated
etc...
And, you know I'm right!

Have you tried that? Is it based on ASP.NET MVC by chance? Microsoft tech at least?
I would like to know more. I'll check it out. Thanks. Let me know if you've used it.

Actually I did start working on that and wrote at least 4 articles here about it.
Here's one ASP.NET MVC : Build Your Custom Blog Engine (CMS) - Part 1 of 2(Own ASP.NET MVC)[^]
But, of course, there is way more work to do there and I'm human (lazy by nature).
Also, I just figured out how to hack the Site.Master file to add the link I want to DotNet BlogEngine so I won't jettison myself into outer-space, quite yet. (To the chagrin of many, I'm sure.)

It's based on Razor Web Pages, which AFAIK is sort-of a stripped-down version of MVC.

I haven't used it, because I'd already written a simple custom CMS before it came out, which is good enough for what our customer wanted.

A minimum and a maximom walk into a bar and the barman asks them if this kind of behaviour is normal. The maximom pulls her friend the minimum to the exit, whispering "lets go somewhere where they speak English (United States)".

You don't have to be a programmer to see the irony in posting that comment as a "solution".

I was just digging through some of the HTML/CSS from dotnet blogengine and found this:
p { }
.rating { margin-bottom: 10px; }
.rating p { display: inline; position: relative; top: 14px; left: 55px; }
.star-rating { position: relative; width: 125px; height: 25px; overflow: hidden; list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; background-position:
So the dev added a empty p{} element and then the comment.
This is not tech question but just an interesting archaeological dig.
Isn't that weird? I've never seen it before.
Is this something from a bygone era of CSS / old browsers?

Just to qualify this post, I've been using CSS a fair amount since the late 90s... so assuming there's no preprocessor being used then there is no reason under the sun for doing that. Browser specific hacks typically have an override of sorts. Doing something like...
p { }Does absolutely nothing. Which was probably their way of trying to start that CSS block / file without a comment. Because it does nothing.
And I've never had trouble starting CSS blocks and files with comments. Maybe he/she ran into something, but after 20 years of it I never saw that. Even text based browsers like lynx just ignore CSS. So I can't in recent memory ever think of this issue being a thing.
I'd wager it's a case of a little bit of knowledge being dangerous sorta situation. As in just enough to sound smart, but not knowing enough to actually be smart.

Thanks for confirming that.
That's exactly what I thought after a bit of googling.

So now I'm curious, after doing some recon about BlogEngine.NET... I ended up on github since the Codeplex site is going down. This is the closest file I could find on github to the star rating snippet...
https://github.com/rxtur/BlogEngine.NET/blob/master/BlogEngine/BlogEngine.NET/Content/star-rating.css[^]
Is this is the right file? Are you looking at an older version of the code? Since it's a reusable blog engine, I'm curious to see if there was a legit reason for your snippet. I can't think of one. Assuming it's the same file, the comments are gone. I couldn't find any LESS files outside of the toastr one either, so I assume it's not preprocessed.
So, am I looking at the right code?
