What Blog Software?
-
I'm looking for an ASP.Net blog app. Here are some I've found: 0) DasBlog - uses .Net 2.0 and their last sourceforge update was in 2009. People running .net 4.0 websites are having all kinds of problems getting it to work 1) SubText - uses .Net 2.0, and their web site is a bit of a mess. 2) BlogEngine.Net - uses .Net 4.0, the software they use for their forums absolutely SUCKS. People also having problems integrating it with existing web sites

Two other options to try are Umbraco[^] and Telerik's SiteFinity[^]. Both are free (or at least have free versions) and are much better supported than the others you listed.
Stay the f**k away from sitefinity. I'm with Dario on wordpress. It's just so far out in the lead these days.

I don't need a full-blown cms - I only want a blog app...

I use Umbraco and I made the mistake of using one of the pre-built blog components (buggy and interferes with the rest of the system). Next time, I'll just use Umbraco and build my own blog engine on top of it.

Write your own? A simple blog would hardly be 1000 lines.
Blogs can get pretty hefty. Posting the blog is easy. Now add the ability to incorporate HTML. Well that's ugly. Perhaps we'll integrate a WYSIWYG. Now I want to access it remotely. Add authentication. Now I want to upload images remotely in the same interface. Add an image upload component. It's a bit clumsly adding that image to the blog. Incorporate the imgage uploader into the WYSIWYG, and make sure to allow for the image picker to browse the image library. Now my image library is growing. Add ability to tag images to make them easier to find. Now the blog has too many entries to lost on one page. Add paging. Users tell me they'd rather comment than email me when they notice a mistake on my blog entries. Add ability to comment. Spam engines are now automatically posting crap comments on my blog entries. Add captcha. Spammers have created an engine to defeat my captcha. Update captcha. Spammers do it again. Require users to log in to post comments. More work to support accounts. Spammers start abusing accounts. Add back-end controls to help manage those. Now I want to know which of my blog posts are most popular and how people are getting there. Integrate Google Analytics. My ranking is low on Google searches. Practice SEO (e.g., add meta tags and ensure each page has a unique title and something different in the H1 tags and make sure only one H1 tag exists per page). Now users want to "like" a post on Facebook or they want to "tweet" a blog post, but they don't want to retype the headline. Integrate social media functionality. And so on... Still sure it's 1,000 lines, and that those 1,000 lines are so easy to make?

I'd rather said a B52 to someone needing a hand grenade :D The Raptor is much too nimble compared to a CMS :laugh:
