So I finally decided to make the switch. After seeing BlogEngine.NET running on the Vidyano website, I was quite impressed with its stability and the features it has to offer. My blog was previously running on WordPress. While WordPress is a very fine blogging solution, the fact that it’s running on PHP is what made me switch to a .NET based engine. To be completely honest, having to apply regular security updates to both PHP as well as WordPress became a bit of a hassle to me. Thanks to Windows Update, I can eliminate half the work there and feel a lot safer.
I am currently looking into migrating my previous blog posts to this blog. So far it has been a disaster, so I don’t know if I will make the time to persist on getting this done. I’d rather focus on new content and will probably resurrect an older topic when I see fit.
On a side note, I also started using Windows Live Writer to write blog posts. I’m very excited so far as this will definitely make it a lot easier for me to maintain this blog.
