Gravatar and coComments implemented
Live preview on commenting
Full editing and creation of pages that are not posts

Runs entirely on XML. No database needed

To get stated using the BlogEngine.NET, go to the website – a website built on the engine.

What's the license for this blog engine?

p.s. Congratulations! How rude of me to just ask a question and not offer congrats. ;)

Phil, I haven't figured out what license this will fit into. The license must allow redistribution, freedom of total modification but not selling or rebranding. I'll put it on source forge in a short while. I've thought about Microsoft's new license model, but haven't looked into it yet.

I've looked at the Creative Commons Share-Alike license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/
I think this will be the one.

Mads, that license would permit others to sell or rebrand your blog engine. Are you sure you don't want to pick an OSI (Open Source Initiative) license from here: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/category

In my opinion, they are better suited for code than creative commons, which I tend to think is better suited towards content and other creative works. However, I should point out this *is* just my opinion and not legal advice. ;)

Subtext uses New BSD which pretty much allows anyone to do anything with the code as long as there is proper attribution and the license stays with the code.

Good point. I've taking the advice and changed the licensing to Microsoft Permissive License www.microsoft.com/.../permissivelicense.mspx
