    « Meme Monday: My First Blog PostThe Thank You Economy by Gary Vaynerchuk »
    comments

    What was the first blogpost you wrote? When did you write it and what was it about.

    Here is mine, it is from September 15, 2005, it was about something that trips people up

    @@IDENTITY returns wrong identity field
    When using @@IDENTITY I get the wrong results
    I have seen this problem posted many times on newsgroups and It actually happened to a co-worker not too long ago
    This ‘problem’ can occur when you do an insert into Table A and there is at trigger defined that fires when the insert happens and this trigger does an insert into table B.
    What @@IDENTITY returns is actually the identity from Table B
    In order to get the identity back from table A you should use SCOPE_IDENTITY() instead

    Here is the link to the post: @@IDENTITY returns wrong identity field

    Since the first post I have blogged almost 1100 times, 678 times on the SQL Server Code,Tips And Tricks, Perfomance Tuning blog and over 400 times here on lessthandot

    bonskijr What was the first blogpost you wrote?
    http://devpinoy.org/blogs/bonskijr/archive/2006/02/15/Image-In-DetailsView.aspx

    When did you write it?
    Feb 15 2006

    What was it about?
    How to display a blob(image) from the database to a DetailsView ASP.NET server control, in response to a local forum question (http://msforums.ph/forums/p/31880/108971.aspx#108971)

    It's my (relatively) most viewed post (8K)

    Since then I've gravitated more to SQL server related posts, but has not blogged since 2009 :(

    Ted Krueger (onpnt) I remember it very clearly. Mark Smith caused my LTD blogging career thanks to a forum thread and schema questions.

    http://blogs.lessthandot.com/index.php/ITProfessionals/ProfessionalDevelopment/why-i-started-and-continue

    Now blogging started over a decade ago but I consider coming into form and providing some truly valued content to Mark, LTD and the others that help me review/edit what I write.
