Hello-
Just wanted to mention that I am starting a Knockout focused blog at: http://knockmeout.net.  I really enjoy working with KO and want to push myself to continue to learn and grow by writing about it.  I don't claim to be an expert in all things, but want to share my experiences and ideas about using Knockout.  

Please check it out or subscribe to it, if you are interested.  I am definitely receptive to any/all feedback.  Feel free to contact me here, on the site, or directly.  Also, if you have ideas for topics that you would like to see researched and possibly written about, please let me know.

Thank you for your time.

-Ryan

TIA,

Thanks for putting out a blog focused on knockout. This is great.
Looking forward to learning from your blog posts, just like here on the forum.

Some ideas for your blog:
  1. You might want to put a widget on the sidebar that pulls your JSFiddles and displays the last 10 fiddles.
  2. Twitter feed? not sure if you use twitter, but it would be cool 
May be soon we will get a "KnockoutJS Rocks" podcast show :)

Glad to learn about dynamically changing views (templates) that's really cool - as someone who has loved the MV-VM pattern and worked with Silverlight and WPF, I always missed using these good concepts, separation of concerns in pure HTML/JS/CSS web development. Knockout really was a light-bulb moment and brought my passion to doing web development right back.

I recently put up a Swimlanes app on Codeplex that provides Scrum Taskboard like View in a ASP.Net MVC web app. Used Knockout and jQuery templates, and that was the start I needed.

KnockoutJS Rocks!

Very nice, I'd love to see a post about adding records to an array. Something along the lines of:

If you're showing 100 records, and the user clicks "more", the server then responds with another 100, not including the last 100, and those new 100 records are added to the existing array....

I like it! The jsFiddle post would have helped me a when I first started.

How about more posts for people new to ko?  The ko website covers a lot, but I'd especially like to see examples of common scenarios that aren't included on the site.  And linking to the code for the examples in fiddle would be helpful.

Thanks again

Thanks for the feedback.  I hope to keep learning and will try to incorporate any suggestions.

Added a new post tonight.  My goal is to find something to write about around once per week.

Please feel free to share any thoughts/feedback with me here or directly.  Thanks again for your time.
