Finaly a blog engine I can deal with

20. July 2007

Here's the deal.  I have been looking for a blog engine that I could finally make my own.  I have explored many of the blogs out there and found that all of them lacked something.  I needed to have a variety of features.  I needed tagging, categories, MetablogAPI, additional pages, tracking, mulitple users, themes, and the ability to add additional modules if necessary.  I finally found BlogEngine.Net on CodePlex.  There are many reasons for the choice, one is that it meets all of my needs.  From a developers point of view it has a temendous potential.

I have been wanting to use DotNetNuke for the longest time since I host it and advocate it.  However, I could not use third party tools to blog.  Many blog applications do not allow you create additional pages, eg. dasBlog, but BlogEngine.Net does. 

I am going to be doing software tutorials that deal with CSLA.Net and the implementation of them.  The additional pages will allow for a psudeo article type functionality.  I may even find time to contribute to it.

I have been wanting to give back to the open source community that has given me many of the tools that I need to succeed in bussiness.  I cannot give to them all but I can give to some.

I look forward to publishing more now that I finally found a blog home.
