I missed the great updates to the news page. Excellent! I'll be starting with the news page in the future. One observation, I like the most recent postings element on the news page, but the posts happened to be from secondary feeds which I read only occasionally. So to save real estate I set the number of recent posts to 0, and was impressed that you gave users the ability to hide the recent posts control. All-around great work!

When we call the InsertPost function on that service, we pass DateTime.Now as the "postDate" parameter. So I think it's probably a problem in the web service...ScottW would be the guy who would know.

One little thing I am noticing, is that the time of post (from Outlook using NG) is off by 3 hours (seems Paciifc time). I have dotnetweblogs set correctly so I am not sure where this value is coming from? I didn't see any place in NG to change it? Do you know what it is?
