Switch to BlogEngine.NET

Today, I switched my blogging software from WordPress to BlogEngine.NET.  The installation was extremely easy and was operational within a few minutes of downloading the version 1.4.5 package.  I followed the Screencast provided by Al Nyveldt to simplify the installation.  Everything was pretty intuitive. 

I have a few minor reasons for switching.  WordPress is somewhat unforgiving if you make an incorrect setup choice and it uses PHP which is a little shaky when used with IIS.  WordPress also uses MySQL and we are an MS SQL Server shop.  Both WordPress and BlogEngine.NET are free and open source but we are ASP.NET developers so BlogEngine is just a better fit.

Now I have to convince some fellow bloggers so we can get PHP and My SQL off of the server.
