I recently set up an Instagram feed for a travel blog and found that the Instagram API only supplies the UTC created date/time of each image, and doesn't supply the user's UTC Offset (as the Twitter API does), so the only thing you have to work with are the latitude and longitude (lat/long) coordinates to find out the timezone and UTC Offset of where the image was posted.

In this post I'll show you how to install and configure the Altairis Web Security Toolkit in an MVC3 application.

This is a handy javascript function that I use on a lot of my sites to ensure that the html5 placeholder attribute is supported by older browsers.
I came across a problem recently with server side validation of partial views in MVC3.
With the help of the NuGet and the Ninject extensions Ninject.MVC3 and Ninject.Extensions.Conventions, you can get dependency injection up and running with just 1 line of code!
