Blog software

[Jan Eliasen]

Hi

I am looking for some .NET blog software which I can use at my own
website.

I do not have access to a SQL Server, but I do have access to a MySQL
database, and I can have an access database, if I want to.

Preferably in .NET 2.0 but 1.1 will do...

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

There are number of free blog engines out there, for instance
-dasBlog ( http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=139759 )
-.TEXT ( http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/...e-348f6b77c407 )

using search engine you can find more of them....

I prefer .NET solutions whenever I get a choice but in case of blog
software I went with WordPress - http://wordpress.org/. It's well
supported, embarrassingly easy to setup and uses widely available
PHP/MySQL combo.

I've made a switch from dasBlog to WordPress about a year or so ago
about the same time when I changed my site host. Let see if I recall
the issue... My new host, rightfully so, setup site with medium trust.
Most up to date dasBlog version at that time was relying on full trust
and was failing miserably. Not sure what the status of that issue now
is... HTH.

MSDN blogs use Telligent's Community Server. You can download the express
edition for free, which is all you need for a personal blog site. If you
want to host a lot of blogs, you may want to pay for a license (small cost
compared to the rest of the business costs of running a blog site for public
consumption).

Hi

Thanks for your answer.

..TEXT is the one that has become communityserver , right? I looked at
sourcesafe for it, and saw that the last release was from 2004 :-/

I am aware that I can find more using searchengines :-) And I have
tried, believe me. But there are so many that it is difficult to
choose. Especially if I need a .NET version which doesn't require SQL
Server... I thought it would be easier to just ask here to see if
anyone knew of a good one.

I haven't looked at dasBlog, so I will do that now - thanks :)

Hi Nick

I remember looking at communityserver at some point. Doesn't it
require SQL Server? Or am I wrong? Also, it seems at bit big if I only
want a personal blog....

But I will give it a second try, since you ask so politely .-)

Hi

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, my hosting company onle lets me
use .NET - not PHP.

Hi Nick

>

Sorry Jan. I just don't know. I'm assuming that the smaller edition uses
MSDE or SQL Server Express Edition. Your web hosting company shouldn't have
too much difficulty with that. I've seen blog sites that used only XML, but
I don't know if Telligent's solution does that.

I hope I *was* polite ;-).

Good luck in finding the software you need.
