Adding Custom UserControls to DasBlog

Even though the soon-to-come DasBlog 1.8 will include support for Custom Macros, you CAN get custom functionality now with this existing macro:

<%newtelligence.aspnetcontrol("TechEdBloggersFeed.ascx")%>

This will load the specified ASCX control into the page at this location. The code-behind can be in another (non-DasBlog) assembly.

This won't give you access to the DasBlog DataService, that's what the new Custom Macro support does. Still, pretty slick, and a good reminder from Michael Earls.

How hard would it be to choose skins based on browser? I hacked justhtml to make my blog look OK on mobile devices, but I'd really rather have a full-functioned skin for normal desktops and the stripper skin for mobile phones.
