I am really behind in email, but I have had a number of emails lately from other developers as to which ASP.NET blog engine I use for my website and what I recommend, so I thought I would blog about it :)
This blog runs on .Text, which as I mentioned to some readers, has been sadly neglected over the past year. .Text is a free, open-source ASP.NET blog engine located on GDN. See here. To be fair, it has served my purpose very well, but I had major problems with .Text crashing on WebHost4Life and although this isn't very scientific, it feels a little past its expiration date. I can't honestly recommend it. In fact, I recommend not using .Text.
Two days ago I installed dasBlog for another blog I am starting. DasBlog is another free, open-source ASP.NET blog engine on SourceForge. See here. DasBlog uses XML files to store content as opposed to SqlServer. This is actually pretty cool if you don't have access to SQL Server.
DasBlog is the ASP.NET blog engine I recommend right now until I come across a better one. Not only does it have a lot of comment spam and blacklisting features, but it is so very, very, very easy to install. I had dasBlog running in 20 minutes. I recommended it to a few readers and they emailed me telling me how easy it was to install and get up and running.
I hope this helps.
