One of the steps is creating an App Service to host your website. In the past, you would have a web server some

I need to make blog entries about all the different elements that I am using in Azure. I will be creating YouTube videos as well to show the details. This post is about App Services. In the old days, you would create your website using whatever tools, and then you would either get a free hosting

Nearly every resource you create in Azure is going to be contained in a resource group. These are containers that

So I learned a few things, wanted to document them real quick. I often have multiline text fields, such as "Notes". I want to show them in the Details page with the line returns.

If my Notes are in HTML:

Use Html.Raw on the Details page, that will display all HTML properly formatted

Creating a Project in Visual Studio Part I

I have replaced douglasweb.com with cigardoug.net. Because of email limitations, I can't just put douglasweb.com into Azure, I have to use redirects just like researchlodge.org. But it's not too bad. At least my blog is live and I can uploaded images, so I can start tracking my work better. I am

Let us pull in an image.

Buckle your seatbelts!

This is going to be a wild ride.
I am not sure what this is going to look like.
I have to just build something, and see what the hell happens.

This post is about Naming Conventions. I haven't decided yet if I am going to keep my Wiki from my current site, www.douglasweb.com, so some of my blog post

I am in the middle of importing my lists from SharePoint to Azure for researchlodge.org, it's going really well. Now I need to do my first Blob storage, I am starting with Flags, because several lists will use the Flag images. That is a simple thing to focus on. I already built out a Blog storage

• Use Microsoft Identity Platform to sign in users.
  
• Use "AllowAnonymous" and "Authorize" a

This post captures in short form the steps to handle email forwarding in Azure, to allow me to move away from cPanel and Namecheap. Blog is not cooperating, so I have a tiny little window to work with.

• Set up a Custom Domain and DNS Zone in Azure.
• Create a Brevo account.

It has been an eventful couple of weeks, I keep reminding myself to blog to keep track of all my progress. Virginia Research Lodge has finally gone live: 

I have a working version of my blog now, even though I don't have pictures and other things completely worked out. But I wanted to start documenting the things I am already doing, to ensure I don't forget to write about them. So this is going to be kind of like a Wiki, I don't know. Maybe I will

I just created a Categories list so new blogs will show a dropdown. This is so cool to see.  This is what the code looks like:
