Integrating a blog into asp.net website

Question

I have a website that I would like to integrate a blog into. I have seen lots of options available and not sure which one to jump into. What I want to do is have the most recent post on my home page and have users navigate to www.mysite.com/blog to see all posts. I would also like to have a sidebar on the homepage with links to 10 most recent posts.

Where should I start? Should I use wordpress or an asp.net engine? Should I use rss feeds to get information to homepage?

Answer 1

Have a look at dasBlog. Will give you an idea about how a blog engine should work and where to start from.

Answer 2

BlogengineNet is good for your needs

Answer 3

CommunityServer is one of the more popular blog engines written in .net.

It probably requires a little more prep work than Wordpress or the like. It's mostly commercial, but I THINK some of the older versions are free for use. Not sure!

If there isn't a free version available please add a comment rather than voting down :)

Answer 4

1. Pick whatever blog engine you want to use; it really doesn't matter.
2. On your homepage, use an RSS feed to show the most recent post.
3. Link to your blog for people to see all other posts.
