The BlogEngine team has released BlogEngine 2.5 last 27th of June. I postponed it for a while but you have to keep your Online Software up to date! So I decided to give it a try. The migration from 1.x to 2.0 was almost painless, so moving to 2.5 should work out fine too. My installation as no database, but stores stuff in the App_Data folder. I followed this guide: http://blogengine.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Upgrading%20to%20BlogEngine.NET%202.5

As a big fan of beer (and coffee) and BlogEngine.net, I decided to combine these two things and write a simple widget. You probably know the ‘buy me a beer’ feature from Wordpress but there is none for BlogEngine.net. My version is very simple and have almost no features but it saves you a couple of minutes making your own ‘buy me a beer’-link. The image is stored in the ‘pics’ directory and is borrowed from a website I can’t remember. The archive can be downloaded here » bmab-widget.zip (9.81 kb) and suggestions are always welcome!
I just recently installed DasBlog, the wel known .net open source blog engine. to get it up and running i had to manually edit some *.config files and disable tracing and the trustlevel should not exist in the web.config file, because i have a shared hosting environment.
I really liked dasblog a lot, but i wanted to try out blogengine.net because i heared a lot about it. So I installed it today and guess what... you don't have to edit any config files. The only thing I had to do was to make sure that the app_data dir was writable. the rest is all configured through the webapplication itself! adding a theme was really easy, just decompress the theme and move the folder by ftp to the themes dir and select it in the dropdown. that's all. DasBlog has more theme's packed by default, but BlogEngine made it really easy to add new theme's.
