While I was preparing for the talk I gave recently on blogging I decided to spend some time looking into blogging solutions under windows with asp / asp.net.
I was left feeling completely underwhelmed by what little I found.
Hasn't anyone produced a semi-decent windows based blogging engine?
Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but I'd love to be pointed in the right way.
Asp / asp.net Blog Engines?

Microsoft's MSDN blogs aren't horrible, but I think they may use an in-house system. It's not really terribly surprising, though, when you think of it; by the time ASP.net came along there was well-established blogging software. No-on in their right minds would write blogging software in ASP classic.
Edit: MSDN blogs seem to use this thing: http://communityserver.org/default.aspx
It's semi-commercial. While the blog seems okay, the forum bit is HORRIBLE; see http://thedailywtf.com/ for an example.
Michele, I spent a LONG time looking for a piece of blogging software for ASP.net that would serve my needs. As Rob points out communityserver looks like it is the only one worth mentioning. I still didn't really like it, so I'm in the process of writing something bespoke, it will be simple enough just something mildly functional.
Community server seems to be a bit bloated.
Surely there's something comparable to movable type or wordpress for asp / asp.net ?
You'd think so, wouldn't you? MSDN is very big and gets a lot of traffic, though, and seems to survive on community server... In any case, Windows is perfectly capable of running Wordpress and so forth.
While you *may* be able to get Wordpress running on windows that kind of misses the point. MS have been pushing .net and asp.net 2.0 really hard. A native windows blog platform that was functional without being bloated would be fantastic
has anyone tried blogengine from blogengine.net
it looks interesting...
