Over the weekend, while I was working on the BlogML support for BlogEngine.NET, I decided to take a break and do some blog reading when I ran across Alexander Schuc's MonsterID HttpHandler.

I thought it was fun as well as a very nice and modular implementation.  Just add a few files to your project and then reference the new handler to display unique monsters based on your seed.

I decided to drop what I was doing and implement it on my blog.  It didn't really fit with my Indigo theme however, so I made a new one as well.  So in addition to the MonsterIDs, I have a new theme as well.  I like it a lot so I'm glad I took the time to make the new theme to go with the monsters.  The new theme is based on 'Refresh' by styleshout.

If you'd like to see your MonsterID, go ahead and leave a comment or head over to Alexander's site and check out his demo.

We'll get this option included in the BlogEngine.NET sometime soon.  I've got to clean up my implementation and make some options for using it.

While almost impossible to comprehend, the Curiously Green theme had a minor bug in the code behind that was pointed out on the BlogEngine.NET Issue Tracker today.

I've updated the theme and have the new version available here on my site as well on the main BlogEngine.NET Themes repository.

If you happen to be using that theme, please be sure to get the update.
