After accidently deleting my blog folder, while porting it to my main domain, without any backup of the posts, it’s now up and running. While going through Codeplex site, I saw that the final release of 1.5 was available and I used this uninvited opportunity to upgrade(read freshly install) to 1.5. From, my post history, the only relevant post was regarding my AddThis extension. So, I’ll just post it ASAP.
