It's hard to find decent shared ColdFusion hosting. I used to love a Canadian company called ExpertHost. Their tech support was always very responsive. Their disk space and bandwidth became outdated for the price and the final straw was when they wouldn't let me instantiate a Java object. I realize there are security issues but why would I want to compromise my own host? Anyway, I tried GoDaddy because they were cheap and offered a ton of space and transfer. Again, problems occurred when I tried to use CreateObject and this time just to instantiate a CFC! How can I program without CFCs?

A lot of ColdFusion bloggers use BlogCFC. I think BlogCFC is great, but I've always used Blogger and it works great with ColdFusion. Blogger's got some key features built in that I like just a little bit more than BlogCFC, and it also seems to get indexed in search engines faster.
So how do you use Blogger with ColdFusion? It's simple! Just set your blogger account to publish to your ColdFusion server via FTP. Then edit your template to include a header and footer file built in ColdFusion. I used cfimport and a single customtag which renders my layout.

Well, as you may have noticed, I finally went through all the posts and used a standard way to do code highlighting. It's called Syntax Highlight and you can get it here: http://alexgorbatchev.com/wiki/SyntaxHighlighter
Fortunately, there's a Drupal Plugin so I didn't actually have to do anything except edit all my old posts to use this format:
<pre class="brush:as3">
This is my code
</pre>
The one thing I wish it could do is combine brushes, so I can have MXML and AS3 in one block.
