Looking for a open source mature ASP.NET based blog engine which supports themes. I was working with BlogEngine but I am finding that some of HTML produced is different than the declared ones I have in files and I am spending too much time troubleshooting these issues.

Is there another blog engine? dasBlog latest update was March 2009. I am not sure if this means that its abandoned or the developers think it's done? 17 months is a long time for an open source project with many contributors.

Next is subText. Any other ones?

Graffiti CMS it is not per se a blog engine but it could be used as such. It got open-sourced recently. The documentation states the following about themes:

Graffiti provides you with a lot of flexibility for rendering different content based on the page site requested. Remaining true to the mantra of "Convention over Configuration", Graffiti provides the themes feature so you can specify different view files per page or section of the site without ever having to tell Graffiti they exist.

Last push is from end july 2010: alt text

I have decided to stay with BlogEngine and start over in a cleaner way. I figured this would be faster than learning a new blog software.

Yes, it is more often than not a safer decision. Good luck!
