Hello, I'm looking to build a blog into my BV5 site. Does anyone know of a blog software package that will integrate well with BV? There's a blog on the bvcommerce main website, so I know it can be done. Just not sure how. I'd really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
Chris

I figured this out myself. The software is called BlogEngine.Net and you can download it for free here:

http://www.dotnetblogengine.net/

Installation is easy, follow this screencast:
http://www.nyveldt.com/b...allation-Screencast.aspx

Or manual instructions here:
http://razorant.com/blog...newiki/Installation.ashx

After you create the blog as a .NET 2.0 application in IIS, right click on the blog folder in IIS then go to "properties", and under the ASP.Net tab click "edit configuration." In the next screen, make sure the LocalSQLServer is set to dummy and the BVC5 Database has a line through it (if not, click it then click "remove). Finally, click the "application tab" and make sure that "page theme default" is blank.

In the step that tells you to give modify permissions to the App_Data folder, they tell you to add the user ASPNET but this didnt work for me. I had to add the user NetworkService with modify permissions.

Lastly, in your /blog/ folder, find the file web.config and look for the <http modules> section toward the bottom. Beneath the comment, make sure you have the following.

<!--Remove the default ASP.NET modules we don't need-->
<remove name="UrlRewriter" />
<remove name="PassportAuthentication"/>
<remove name="Profile"/>
<remove name="AnonymousIdentification"/>

Hope this helps someone else down the line!

Yep. I use BlogEngine.net for the official BV Commerce blog. It's ASP.NET 2.0 based and can use XML files or SQL server backend. Easy to configure and should "Play well" with BV Commerce.
