Oxite : New Blog Engine from Microsoft

oxite 150x79 Oxite : New Blog Engine from MicrosoftOxite  is a simple blog engine written using ASP.NET MVC, and is designed with two main goals:

  • To provide a sample of ‘core blog functionality’ in a reusable fashion. Blogs are simple and well understood by many developers, but the set of basic functions that a blog needs to implement (trackbacks, rss, comments, etc.) are fairly complex. Hopefully this code helps.
  • To provide a real-world sample written using ASP.NET MVC.

It is a new open source blog engine and content management system(CMS) from Microsoft that can be used for any thing from hosting a small blog to a corporate web site.

Oxite is highly extensible and standards complaint blog engine with all the features required for powering a blog/CMS – pingbacks, trackbacks, anonymous or authenticated comments, comments moderation, RSS feeds, Web administration panel and XML RPC APIs (required for supporting blogging tools like Windows Live Writer).

Will Oxite Compete With WordPress? No, I don’t think that Oxite will aim to compete with WordPress. WordPress is PHP based software and we can deploy it on cheap Linux & MySQL hosting compared to the expensive Windows hosting required for Oxite. So there is no way that Microsoft Oxite will try to compete with WordPress.
