#NBlog

An open source ASP.NET MVC 5 blog engine

NBlog is a flexible, lightweight, open source blog engine built on ASP.NET MVC 5, C#, jQuery, Razor view engine, CSS3 and HTML5. It doesn't need a database because it stores your data in JSON files, but if you like databases it also supports SQL Server and MongoDB.

Features:

• Automatic scheduled backups to your Dropbox
• OpenID login
• Customisable themes
• Markdown and code syntax highlighting
• JSON files, SQL Server or MongoDB storage options
• JavaScript and CSS merging and compression

NBlog is built using these fantastic open source libraries:

• PageDown Markdown Editor
• Prettify
• Autofac
• AntiXSS
• DotNetOpenAuth and jQuery OpenID
• NSubstitute
• ELMAH
• SquishIt
• SharpBox
• Quartz.NET
• HTML5 Boilerplate

To see NBlog in action, check out blog.appharbor.com, chrisfulstow.com.

It looks like Azure has expired my example of this enhanceed forked blog, which has an "About Me" section and supports uploading a corresponding image to storage in Blob or SQL. From what I could find, the lfoust/NBlog fork still has some similarities to this demo, and it is still running here: blog.spontaneouspublicity.com

##License NBlog is open source under the The MIT License (MIT)

Hi, under which license is NBlog?

I could only find the description in the Title of Readme.md "Open Source" - but that could mean a lot.

Thx

Add possibilty to create and manage comments

Below I place business requirements for this new feature:

"As a common user(not looged) I want to add comment to entry, so that people could see my opinion"

"As an owner of the entry I want to decide whether users can entry comments or not, so that ...." - If entry definition allow add comment, then user will see "Add comment" form, if not then user will see text "Comments are disabled for this entry"

"As an owner of the entry I want to block sent comment, so that coments don't contains bad words" - Author can block comment, but he have to defined reason - this reason will be available to all users.

What do you think of that? You can add your user stories,

How configure it ?

How configure with JSON/Mongo/MsSql ?

Post Create/Edit

Hi,

why creating an Entry is missing Slug and Date inputs?

And also on both Create and Edit it cannot locate the markdown buttons.

It is looking here
http://localhost:8080/resources/scripts/wmd/images/wmd-buttons.png
while they are here
http://localhost:8080/scripts/wmd/images/wmd-buttons.png

Which is in a css rule in wmd.css line 72. My guess is that it is not correct?

Support for editing from Windows Live Writer

"As an author, I want to be able to create and edit entries from Windows Live Writer."

Add entry tagging

"As an entry author, I can add free-text tags to entries, so that entries can be grouped and searched by tag."

Model the UI on StackOverflow question tagging with auto-complete.

Need basic info to get the site running in VS2015

Not sure if anyone is monitoring this. I am kind of a novice. Have built a few simple MVC projects in VS2015.
Got the Nuget packages updated, have a clean build, but the project won't run in VS2015. I guess it is not a standard ASP.NET MVC solution.
The project builds as a class library, and says it needs an executable in the solution to run.
I am used to setting a single path in web.config to get an ASP.NET project started in the browser.
Appreciate any suggestions.
