Top Six Mango Blog Plugins
Part of the ColdFusiontology effort being undertaken by the nerds of Brice Cheddarn Development includes spreading the word about our favorite blog engine, Mango Blog.
Mango Blog is an easily customizable blog engine built with ColdFusion that provides a way to administer and publish entries. It also provies the necessary architecture to extend its basic functionality by adding plugins. It comes with a set of plugins out-of-the-box, but others have begun to write their own plugins to help expand upon this powerful ColdFusion blogging tool. And some of those plugins need recognition.
As such, I wanted to put together a quick list of the Top Six Mango Blog plugins that are currently available. With the growing number of plugins for Mango Blog, this definitely wasn't an easy list to compile. This is a completely subjective list that is probably not as thought out as it should be, so please feel free to comment and offer your suggestions.

The Launching of Hawkeye Tweets
There is no mistaking the fact that I am a HUGE Iowa Hawkeye Nerd. If you hadn't noticed, two of the last three sites launched by Brice Cheddarn Development have been Hawkeye related. Hawkapalooza was a pro-bono website put together to help a student organization at the University of Iowa. NILE was put together for a client to help him promote his novel.
Hawkeye Tweets is personal project to support my favorite team. It was inspired by the work of colleagues, who put together Suns Tweets and Cards Tweets as a way to use Twitter in support of their teams. I took the same concept and applied it to the Iowa Hawkeyes.
With the help of justSignal, the same technology used on Suns Tweets and Cards Tweets, I was able to put this site together in one massive all night, Monster-fueled hacking session. Hawkeye Tweets uses the justSignal Twitter Widget to pull in the streaming tweets and ColdFusion to power the backend and other ancillary components. ColdFusion will be used more heavily as the site expands.
