Hi Everyone!!!!!!!!!!

I m new to asp.net n blogging platform.  

I need a blogging platform to integrate it in my existing website.

Basically my website is about dealers and i want each dealer to post their own blog, and in admin side control of all blogs posted by the dealers.

Can anyone help me with this.
 

Hi,

and welcome to the ASP.NET forums.

.Text was one of the first, as I recall it, blog engines for .NET and got integrated in Community Server (upon which these forums also run).

I don't know if the code can be found or that it got upgraded for 2.0 as I didn't follow .Text anymore. The version that's in Community Server 2007 is for 2.0.

Other blog engines, built with .NET, are:

Subversion, dasBlog, blogengine.NET. Some of these use a database to store the data, while others use XML.

Also, Microsoft created a free tool to easily create blog posts with it: Windows Live Writer. I like it.

Grz, Kris.

Thanks  kris for ur quick response.

I will go though those platforms.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Kris,

Among those platform, i found blogEngine.net bit easier but the problem is that they are using UrlRewriting and i dont have concept of that.

And one more thing is that i need blog for each dealer in its own dealer page and recent post of blog in my home page.

How can i do this through that blogEngine.net ? Does that bolg engine support such integration?

Thanxs in advance.

Hi,

I'm using dasBlog for my own blog and didn't found the time needed to explore the inner workings of blogengine.NET myself so I wouldn't know. However you can ask your questions on the dedicated forums here: http://www.codeplex.com/blogengine/Thread/List.aspx.

Grz, Kris.

First of all i would like to thanx u for ur quick response.

I have already spend so many hours in BlogEngine.net and i have even posted question in that forum u suggested. I don't have much time to spend on dasblog, So before exploring dasblog i would like to know that is this dasblog support way i want? I mean i want recents blogs summary to be displayed in my home page and in each dealer's blog in each dealer page.

Thanx in advance.

Hi,

not standard out of the box that I know of. But you can extend dasBlog with custom macros. If you want to learn how you can do it take a look here: Creating custom macros for dasBlog.

What this used to store the data, MYSQL, SQL or XML??? 

please give me the link of this blogging facility, means from where i can get tghis?? link of the website from where i can download it???? 

Thanks ,

Hi Prashat, I really dont know abt the .text but if u want to have blogging platform in asp.net 2.0 with c#  i would suggest u to go for BlogEngine.net.

Blog Engine.net is free and opensource and even its easy to integrate in existing web site and easy to customize.

I started with BlogEngine 1.0 now i have upgraded easily into newer version.

You can easily find information in that platform.

So go for it.

Best of luck..

.Text was indeed a blog engine that used SQL server. It got incorporated into Community Server. You have alternative blogging engines nowadays like dasBlog, blogengine.net, subtext, ... There are also free blog services like googles blogger.com service.
