Are there any reasonable complete open-source C# .NET blogging engines out there? Something a budding programmer may be able to extend? MVC Ideally.

+6  A: 

BlogEngine.NET is great. Easy to create your own extentions.

Subtext and dasBlog is also worth a look. Current version is not MVC, but I've heard the future versions will be MVC.

Oxite is built in MVC, but it's been getting bad reviews.

You could look at DasBlog. I'm not sure if it's MVC based but it's maintained by several famous Microsoft guys. And I seem to remember something about it not requiring a database.

BlogEngine is something good but it has some limitations comparing to a great blog engine such as WordPress.

Also i heard that Graffiti is very good.

I am using WordPress and Blogs inside CommunityServer

I havent personaly used it but as you said you wanted a MVC based blogging engine you could try Atomsite.

The plus sides as I see it is that the admin interface look very much like wordpress, but as I said I havent personaly used it just heard about it.

For more of a full MVC CMS I can recomend N2
