Hallo Joe,

I have just stumbled upon mojoPortal and wanted to check out a few thing - so far I must say I'm impressed with your work!
Is it possible to use webparts that have user editable properties exposed? I have tried to get my own web part into the system - which has been very easy thanks to the import mechanism - but I have not found a way to edit the web parts properties.

I have included a sample source code for a property and for my basic rss reader web part.

Thanks again for your great work and dedication - it is really appreciated!
Chris
