Upgraded to Subtext 1.9

Right havent blogged for ages as was getting loads of spam under the old .text blogging software.

But just upgraded to SubText and looks very good, I think the guys on this project have done extremely well.

Was a fairly easy upgrade from .text only problem I did have was primary key violations on the conversion scripts. After lots of digging and scratching heads just re-ran the script and it worked which I am not sure why, only thing I can think is someone else was creating blogs while I was trying to do the conversion.

But no love it, used water theme and added my disclaimer at the bottom.

Reading memo fields in Access using asp and ado

as a reminder to myself really, in access 2000 there is now a memo field these can only be read once from the ado recordset in asp.  The second time the field will be null, ie if you do the following…

<%= myRS("linkname") %>

<%= myRS("linkname") %>

twice the second one doesnt return anything as it loses the field contents, I believe this is by design
