Heeding Scott’s advice, I decided to install DasBlog last weekend. I had expected the installation to take some time, so I was not really prepared when I had DasBlog up and running in approximately 10 mins. With the help of DotText2DasBlog, most of the content was moved over automatically. I say mostly, because the tool was unable to move all the content and I did not feel like digging into the source to figure out why.
Why did I move? I wanted a change and an update from my very old version of .Text. However, I was not interested in installing all of CS including the forums and picture gallery. I also wanted to break the SQL Server dependency.
All in all, DasBlog appears to be a very finely tuned and specific app for a single user blog. I love the XCOPY deployment and the management is a snap. I was blown away by how fast it was to get up and running. Great job guys.
