Hi, the name's Steffen and I'm writing about the Web, programming
and all those things coming to my mind. Enjoy your stay.RUZEE.Borders and Telligent’s Community Server
I don’t know if you ever heard about Telligent’s Community Server. It’s a platform for building blogs, forums, etc. mainly focused on enterprise intranets. The company has a pretty strong relation to Microsoft, actually loads of employees are Ex-Microsofters. And, Microsoft uses the Community Server for their msdn blogs.
So what? Well, I haven’t had look in my Apache logs for quite some time - today I took a peek. And I found lots of similar referer URLs there, ending with “/ControlPanel/Blogs/SkinOptions.aspx”, where the top one referer of that kind came from… yeah: blogs.msdn.com! So my guess was that Community Server somehow includes RUZEE.Borders.
And I found a little more proof on that: Mark (Voermans?) new blog is a Community Server based blog that uses a RUZEE.Borders based theme.
Does anybody know more details? Can anyone confirm that the RUZEE.Borders theme is bundled with Community Server?

Hi Steffen,
Yes, one of our community members (Jaxon Rice : http://soup.co.za/weblog/) wrote a couple custom blog themes for Community Server. One called “Riviera” included the use of RUZEE.Borders.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Steffen
Yes, I used your excellent Ruzee Borders script in a blog skin that I created for Community Server. I did send you an email at the time about it - perhaps it got flagged for spam.
When you choose the blog skin in the Community Server back-end I created a link that gives a brief explanation of Ruzee Borders and provides a link to your site which will hopefully drive a couple of visitors to you and persuade them to use your script in their own projects

[...] For RUZEE.Borders theme fans out there, Steffen Rusitschka asks if RUZEE.Borders is included in Community Server, judging by the appearances of blogs.msdn.com in Steffen’s referrer logs. Scott Watermasysk adds a comment to Steffen’s post explaining that Jaxon Rice’s Riviera theme for Community Server uses RUZEE.Borders, which would explain the blogs.msdn.com referrals. [...]
