One of the primary goals of this project is to preserve the essence of the original DasBlog Blogging Engine while taking advantage of the modern cross platform goodness of ASP.NET Core.
Check out the wiki for additional information on DasBlog Fundamentals.

In developing this project we attempted to follow some fundamental principles:
- Pragmatically reuse core DasBlog projects where feasible (includes reusing existing config files).
- Do not be afraid to abandon features/projects that are easily solved with a NuGet package (Pop3, CAPTCHA, Noda Time, etc.)
- Let's use Razor for "Themes"
- Port the custom logging solution to use .NET Core
- DI all the things (avoid massive static objects)
- Install .NET Core SDK 3.0.100
- Install Visual Studio Community 2019 (16.3.0 or newer)
You can find more specific installation steps for Windows development here
In order to build the DasBlog Core, ensure that you have Git installed.
Fork the repo:
git clone https://github.com/[YOUR_GITHUB_ID]/dasblog-coreChange to the "source" directory and open the DasBlog All.sln and perform a build.
Currently the most efficient way to deploy dasblog-core is by following the Overview of deployment in Visual Studio.
Configuration settings are as follows:
- Configuration: Release
- netcoreapp3.0
- Self -Contained
- win-x64
So far deployment to Azure and to a .NET based hosting service provider worked fine, via Web Deploy and FTP respectively. If you have additional questions or concerns please submit an issue.
DasBlog Core uses a templating system based on the Razor Engine to define the layouts of each theme.
