ASP.NET MVC Relative URL for Homepage
It has been awhile since I worked with ASP.NET MVC due to work and many other activities, but I wanted to get back into it since I have always loved programming. One of the first issues I ran into when publishing my site was a pretty simple one, I needed to change the menu button for Home to link back to the root of the site.

Welcome to my Blog
Hello, 你好, guten tag, selamat siang, 안녕하세요, こんにちは, hola!
Welcome to my blog! I have created this blog for a few reasons, the first reason as I wanted to re-design and develop a new architecture for my site (yet again!). Another reason is I wanted to have a way to remember things I have learned along the way and share them with others that might be interested in the same things. The last reason is a secret :-).
In this blog I want to cover a wide range of topics including: programming, …
