    Hello I am novice in asp.net. I just downloaded and installed the asp.net starter kit blogengine. I need to get access into writing posts etc. After I run the application it, the site says;

    Write Permissions

    To be able to log in to the blog and writing posts, you need to enable write permissions on the App_Data folder. If you’re blog is hosted at a hosting provider, you can either log into your account’s admin page or call the support. You need write permissions on the App_Data folder because all posts, comments, and blog attachments are saved as XML files and placed in the App_Data folder. 

    If you wish to use a database to to store your blog data, we still encourage you to enable this write access for an images you may wish to store for your blog posts.  If you are interested in using Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, VistaDB, or other databases, please see the BlogEngine wiki to get started.


    Could anyone help me on how to enable write permissions? i am running the applications on my local computer. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Hope it helps
