Simple Blog for ASP.Net

[Tim Royal]

I used WordPress for a prior blog, but now have my website on ASP.Net 2.0
using MS SQL Server. I'd like to actually have an equivalent blog (easy to
set up, easy to add entries to for the family).

Does anyone have recommendations on an equivalent package that they like?

Thanks.

For family/friends usage, I was impressed by Blogo.Net :

http://s3maphor3.org/blogo.net/

It's simple to use, hassle-free, and quite robust.

I wrote the localization to the spanish language, available here :

Nothing will really compare to WordPress in .net land at least on the
open-source/free level.

If you have a few bucks, GrafittiCMS is quite nice for blogging (it's really
a blog engine):

http://graffiticms.com/

(now that I mention that, scratch that...they DO have a free version for
non-commercial use. Give it a try!)

Graffiti is more a content management system, but does incredibly well
in the blogging department because of its underlying design.

It might be a bit overkill for a just a simple blog, but you don't have
to use all the features. Set up a blog and some content publishers, get
posting. Ridiculously easy to get up and running.

Ofcourse you could go all out and get Community Server, which is
probably the king of .Net social networking products right now, but
thats without a doubt total overkill =)

Hello,

Even if your blog is hosted on a MS server, that shouldn't stop you
from using Wordpress, cause most .net hosts also have PHP installed on
the server. Are you sure PHP is not installed on your server?

I use Wordpress on my .Net server, and it works out very well.

Cheers!

Re: Simple Blog for ASP.Net

Thanks everyone for their recommendations ! I'll look at both blogo.net and
Graffiti (Community Server looks to be quite extensive, you're right. :) ).

As for Wordpress, I am limited to SQL Server, and as I understand it,
Wordpress requires mySql instead.

Thanks everyone!
