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

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
