About

BlogService is an open source blog engine based on web standards such as the Atom Publishing Protocol. It has a flexible design that allows entries to be stored in files or databases. The service is compatible with Live Writer.

BlogService is written in C# 3.5, uses the new ASP.NET MVC framework, and relies heavily on LINQ and other new language features.

BlogService is extensible and flexible enough to be used as a CMS. It uses web standards and has great features built with jQuery.
