Quote

Every man is rich or poor, according to the proportion between his enjoyments and his desires; any enlargement of wishes is therefore equally destructive to happiness with the diminution of possession; and he that teaches another to long for what he shall never obtain, is no less an enemy to his quiet, than if he had robbed him of part of his patrimony.

— Samuel Johnson

Wednesday, 4 April 2007 | .NET blog software

posted at 08:56 PM | trackback | comment [5] | link

Now and again someone on an internal alias will ask about blog software written in .NET. I was perusing the Daily Grind today, and Gunderloy noted that Mads Kristensen had just released a new .NET-based blog engine named BlogEngine.NET. So it seemed like it might be useful to do an inventory.

This is what I came up with. For the most part, it's the same list you can assemble if you google for "asp.net blog software." Or maybe not.

Downloadable/Installable .NET-based blog software

.Blog
.Text
ASP.NET Blogs (under development)
BlogEngine.NET
BlogX
Community Server (forum and blog engine)
Das Blog
DotNetNuke (content publishing)
ForestBlog (ASP, not ASP.NET)
Presstopia
Rainbow Portal (content management)
SubText
tBlogger
ThinkJot
VineType (content management)

Where are the .NET blogging solutions? Jeff Atwood wonders why there isn't (or wasn't when he wrote it) more .NET-based blog software.
