Why another blog engine?

7 years have past since I started the BlogEngine.NET project. It was using cutting edge technology for its time and quickly became the most popular blogging platform using ASP.NET.

The MiniBlog was born as a test to see what a modern blog engine could look like today with the latest ASP.NET and HTML 5 technologies. Just like with BlogEngine.NET, the goal was to see how small and simple such a blog engine could be.

This is the result.
