BlogEngine.NET is an open source .NET blogging project that was born out of desire for a better blog platform. A blog platform with less complexity, easy customization, and one that takes advantage of the latest .NET features.
I have experimented with this open-source blog engine as a framework for a blog-orientated website where the customer wants to have as much control over their content as possible. Changes to the appearance and layout are accomplished by modifying the standard themes or by downloading one of the theme packages being made available by members of the community. The following files need to be changed to provide your custom theme:
site.master (2.08 kb)
site.master.cs (546.00 bytes)
CommentView.ascx (1.00 kb)
download.png (639.00 bytes)
header.png (324.36 kb)
PostView.ascx (1.40 kb)
style.css (15.71 kb)
Place your files in its own directory in the "themes" folder and it is a simple matter to select your new theme when logged in to your blog as administrator.
An example of a blog-based website using this tool can be seen at http://www.xj13.eu or by clicking on the image below:
