Well, here it is: my first blog. It took me quite some time to decide which blogging platform to use. The contenders were WordPress and BlogEngine.NET. Despite WordPress having more extensions, more themes, and a bigger community, I decided that BlogEngine.NET was going to be my choice. The biggest motivator is that it is written in ASP.NET and C#, which makes it that much easier for me to extend and customize. In fact, the very first thing I did was code the ability to have multiple widget zones, so that I could support a theme with more than two columns. Speaking of my theme, dilectio was originally built for WordPress, so I had to [manually] convert it to BlogEngine.net.
There are still some bugs here and there with the changes and customizations that I’ve made, but overall I’m happy with my choice!
A little observation will reveal that this post has become irrelevant.
It says powered by WordPress, I think you owe your readers an explanation why that is
.
Very strong start by the way, the recent posts show you are blogging for so long and have huge experience.
Oops. Just noticed this other post was from the same blog. Sorry, falut of so many tabs at the same time.
I’m going through the very same experience and choice BTW. Played with all big .NET blog engines and ended using WorPress and currently customizing it for my new temporarily-secret domain.
Thanks for giving yet another confidence factor to my decision
What Word Press theme are you using?
