I am looking for a blogging software that works well on a Windows server. I have a site with .ASP page and am looking to integrate a blog.

I dont believe Wordpress is really an option. Any ideas ??

Classic ASP blogs may be a bit outdated these days, so consider an ASP.Net one.
http://www.dotnetblogengine.net is used a lot and is an up to date open source blog solution.
Good luck :)

I don't know of a single ASP-based blog that hasn't been easily hacked.
Not readily aware of many .NET options, either.

Use WordPress. You can still integrate design.

There's dasBlog and BlogEngine which are both .NET. By far the most popular choice is Wordpress which runs great on Windows, especially IIS 7.5.

Why don't you feel Wordpress isn't an option?

I would never suggest dasBlog, given it's age and features.

BlogEngine's theme is a clone of the WordPress premium Arthemia theme -- I'm amused.

It appears to be a .NET WordPress clone .... so why not just use the PHP based original?
Just for grins, however, I'll download and use it on a test site, for fun. Thanks for the link.

I like WordPress and recommend to use it.
That software is the best for running blogs with.

The most popular ones I've seen our BlogEngine, dasBlog and of course WordPress, which is an option as it can be used in a Windows hosting environment.

When I did a quick Google search of 'classic asp blog' there were several results for free ones as well. Ensure you thoroughly test them though, as they are targets for automated blog-spam bots...

I've installed netblogengine, just to test it, and it look like it need run in is own site, not just a virtual directory, because it cause problem to others application that run side by side in same website (trouble about web.config heritage). So wordpress it's maybe the best choice even it's developed in php, but run ok side by side with others asp/asp.net application.

Word press is the best for me. You can install the software right away and manage it's settings not an easy task to do.

I've been using Wordpress on a Windows 2008 server for the last few years. PHP runs great in fastcgi mode and you can integrate wincache as well.

WordPress is the best blog software.
Use it if you want to run your blog successfully.

For keriosp, look for <location inheritInChildApplications="false"> into google.

If you're an asp.net web developer, go with BlogEngine.Net.

I think the best would be wordpress. As its highly developed, secure and good big community to support it.

You can Google "Microsoft websitespark" where you can get a one Click Software installer tool for installing the Windows applications online.

Thanks

Wordpress is 100% an option. PHP runs great on Windows 2008.

It's better and easy to use WordPress for blogging. It is easy to install WP on Windows just by installing WAMP.

If you want to go with WP you can create a virtual application and put it in.

I use BlogEngine.NET before, not bad.
