    I am looking for a .NET blogging tool and BlogEngine.NET and dasBlog seem to be the ones I hear about the most often. For those who have used one or both, how you like them and which one would you recommend going with?  I should also mention that I have used Wordpress on the LAMP platform in the past and that meets all my needs completely so if either BlogEngine.NET and dasBlog is remotely similar, that would be a good indication. I'm also open to a completely different .NET blog if there is another tool that is suitable.

     Some of the things that would be really nice to have:

    -- Total control and easy access to HTML and CSS
    -- Automatically generated RSS feeds
    -- RSS feeds can modified to only grab posts from a certain category or author
    -- Multiple authors
    -- Ability to insert latest posts on home page of website (if an RSS feed is generated that this I could just grab it)
    -- Comments on/off on a post by post basis
    -- Display by date, category or author
    -- Wysiwyg tool for authors
    -- Post titles in URL
    -- Ability to also have static page editing (a nice to have, not must have)
