Integrating ImageVault into EPiServer OnlineCenter
Recently a client had a requirement where their users could access Meridium ImageVault from an EPiServer CMS 6 R2 site. I wasn't overly happy about the way its integrated into edit mode as it always felt a bit "hidden". This was particularly relevant as the client will have users that use the CMS little and ImageVault a lot.
Enhancing the “Create New” screen in EPiServer - part II
I was fortunate enough to attended the EPiServer Partner Summit 2010 and met some great people and saw some inspiring presentations. One session in particular that got my mind thinking was the codemania session. I'd recently blogged about Enchancing the Create New screen in EPiServer. One of the bigger issues with the solution was that we were using properties to store the path to the preview and thumbnail images and that the thumbnail/preview images themselves had to be manually created.

Customising the EPiServer UI
EPiServer provides a powerful framework for adding to the edit and admin mode UI. But this doesn’t always cover our needs and occasionally a requirement pops up that means we have to change the EPiServer UI itself. A great thing about EPiServer is that all the pages and controls that make up the EPiServer UI are installed along with the binaries so we should be able to edit these to meet our exact requirements. I've not seen any official guidelines about this so I thought I'd put together an example on how I've achieved this.
Local and remote system monitor gadget
My entry for the EPiServer gadget contest is a system monitor. I wanted to provide administrators/developers a quick way of checking the health of a local or remote server at a glance.
