RussianQuestion
I am looking for a relatively good and well supported, and preferably open source blog application that runs on ASP.NET and SQL Server. It doesn’t need to be packed full of features, it just needs the basics, such as tagging, comments, etc. Extra features are a bonus.
I would also like it to be either open source or have an extendable framework for customization of not only the look, but the functionality; preferably written in C# if it's open source, as that is my language of choice.
Good performance, etc., the usual stuff when looking for applications.
Even if it's a CMS with a blog in it, that would be beneficial to point out as well.
Please give the name, a link, and some of the the things you find good about it. Even if someone has posted what you were going to post, but you have other things you like about it, please add those things anyway.
I have garnered from the responses to check out BlogEngine.Net, subtext, dasBlog, and to stay away from the blog in DotNetNuke. I will start with BlogEngine.
Solution
I used BlogEngine.NET for one of my clients, can definitely recommend it.
OTHER TIPS
The two big ones are BlogRngine.NET and Subtext. dasblog is good, but just be aware that it's run on XML; there's no database backend which is both a pro and con.
I would strongly recommend you stay well away from the DotNetNuke blogging engine. It's low on features, difficult to configure and not very intuitive to use.
Subtext is a good option. I haven't seen it provide tag clouds, but other than that it works very well!
To quote from their site:
Subtext is an open source project licensed under the BSD license. It is a fork of the popular .TEXT blogging platform.
It run as an ASP.NET/C# site and connects to SQL Server.
There are two I know of: BlogEngine.NET and DasBlog
I'm using BlogEngine.NET. It is very easy to extend as it uses the providers for membership and such. It can be configured to run on SQL Server, but by default it will run using XML.
DasBlog should also be a great blog engine, although I have never really played with it.
Both are open source and are in C#.
