This news made me trawl through the Wayback Machine to find my first blog I wrote in classic ASP using VBscript with an Access database. This was back in 2003! "We've caught on to the latest craze on the internet - the Blog (web log) - where we'll be able to post regular updates of what's going on in our lives." I had photo albums, a calendar view, and the obligatory guest book (with no authentication of course). All developed with VBscript and Windows Notepad. :-) Later in my sysadmin life, I wrote massive logon scripts, printer deployment tools, computer auditing scripts, and much more with VBscript. It was a surprisingly capable scripting language. Later we learned how to add a nice GUI to the scripts using HTA which added an HTML front end using Internet Explorer.
