BlogEngine.NET

As you can see by the footer, this blog is powered by BlogEngine.NET.  Why BlogEngine.NET and not a free blog host like blogspot.com or wordpress.com?  Well, I'm an application developer so naturally I like to get my hands dirty with code whenever possible. 

BlogEngine.NET is generally highly recommended by those who have used it, and I offer the same recommendation.  I assure you that any engine such as this is not for the uninitiated in programming, but I am quite certain that a web-programmer with experience in any language would be able to implement and customize BlogEngine.NET in a reasonable amount of time.  In fact, I just finished helping my 11-year-old son (he's a beginning programmer & he did most of the work himself) add a blog to his website.

Tip of the week:

If you receive a javascript error indicating that 'BlogEngine' is undefined:

Delete the first "comment" line from blog.js [// global object] and all should be fine.
