So today I killed ColdFusion Bloggers. This was rather abrupt and I apologize for that. A week or so ago it was reported to me that the data wasn't updating. I logged into the service providing hosting and discovered they were shutting down for good in a few weeks. I've had free credit with them for a few years now, but honestly, I didn't want to go find another cheap Node hosting solution.
If you go to the site now, you'll find a JSON, and HTML, export of the most recent list of supported blogs. It got down to about 120 or so I think. I also did an export of the entire Mongo DB with all the recorded entries. You could probably find a great deal of ColdFusion content there lost to the world.
You can find the source code for the current site here: https://github.com/cfjedimaster/nodecfbloggers. Anyone has my permission to use it, seed it with the database, and go to town. (Although you should visit my wishlist of course. ;)

RIP.
Went there every single day so at least I'll miss it.
Hmm, I might set this up on AWS via Lambda.
I considered converting it to serverless. It would only need 2 functions - one to aggregate and one to serve up content. Would be pretty trivial to do so. (I wrote an aggregator for webtask.io last night that I'll be sharing here later today.)
We can work together on this when you're ready if you want. I can put up a Node.js server or we can do it via Lambda. There's no need to worry about this at this time. My sincere condolences Ray.
No. This is not a generic ColdFusion support site and your question isn't on topic for this blog post.
how about make a dropdown list based on the database. can you tech me?
You are not understanding. This is not a generic support forum. I welcome questions about the current topic of each blog entry, but you are not asking questions related to the topic for this post. Please use Stack Overflow for general questions.
I don't know how I missed this. o.O
