I’m a .net developer by day, so am always keen to use .net technologies where ever possible. For the past few months I’ve been persevering with BlogEngine.net, a dot net blogging platform which I run on my Windows 2k8 IIS7 box from home, however I can do it no more! I’ve found myself looking on with envy at the features in the newer builds of WordPress as i struggle on with the various “quirks” of BlogEngine and finally decided I could no longer put up with it- I’ve made the switch to WordPress which I’ve used in the past and I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised- not only is it as good as i remember, but it’s come on leaps and bounds both feature and interface wise since I last used it.
To get WordPress up and running I had to setup PHP5, mySQL (and phpMyAdmin to save me the pain of mySQL command line syntax again) under IIS7 which I also found to be easy (all up and running within an hour!) following the guides over on the TrainSignal training website
