If you've ever worked with CodeSmith or any other code generation toolkits, now you can enjoy the same functionality out of the box with Visual Studio 2008 or higher. The code name for it is T4, which stands for Text Template Transformation Toolkit.
The functionality is there but has been poorly documented in 2008 and the UI support is somewhat underdeveloped. This however has been fixed in Visual Studio 2010.
For more information, see Oleg Sych's blog entries on the topic. http://www.olegsych.com/tag/code-generation/
In addition, there are some videos for it in Kevin Dietz's blog. http://www.kevindietz.com/2009/03/27/UsingVisualStudio2008T4CodeGenerator.aspx

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.

I've been following your blog for a month or so and have picked up a ton of good information as well as enjoyed the way you've structured your site.
