Hello BlogEngine.NET

29. August 2007 21:27

Yes, yes, another new blog, this time using BlogEngine.NET. I can't help myself, I keep finding nice, open source .NET blogs and I have to try them out. Then I realise they include half the stuff I've been trying to implement anyway.

The BlogEngine.NET project seems really cool. Themes are simple to implement, and so are custom controls which can be implemented using .NET's user controls.

I'm attempting to alter it slightly so that it can be used as more of a general CMS, rather than a blog. I love the fact that it uses XML for data storage, which is great for me because I only get one SQL database on my hosting. It's also written in C# so there's none of that nasty, old-fashioned VB to work with.

So anyway, if you're a .NET geek, I'd urge you to check it out.

The other day I saw an Application on Facebook which displays your blog posts on your profile, so I think I'm going to try it out and see if I can subject people to my mundane daily life.
