For the past 2 weeks or so, I’ve been determined to create a blog about my travails in learning .NET. Well, I shouldn’t exactly say travails, but definitely, my trials. I searched and searched for the best blog software written in .NET.

See I was convinced that it just would not go to have a blog about .NET using some other platform. I tried installing CommunityServer – ran into several problems. First of which was that it didn’t like .NET 2.0. Second of which I wanted just a blog. Their photo gallery and forums were great, but I didn’t want to go there.

Anyway, I finally broke down and installed WordPress on my machine. Amazingly it only took about 5 minutes to install like that tutorial said. I happened to have PHP and MySQL already installed on my Windows 2003 machine. That made it significantly easier, but still.
