The awesome ASP.NET blogging platform BlogEngine.NET has fascinated me for a while now - I learnt so much just by looking through the solution and seeing how well it had been built.  Since then I am convinced with a little 'community' love, BlogEngine.NET could also be used a CMS just like WordPress made the transition and you see a lot of sites using it as a CMS and Blog.

I went to Codeplex to try and get involved in the 'forum' and was a little disappointed with the size and amount of people giving advice and help... So I had an idea! Why not start the first (Unofficial) BlogEngine community and try to get people involved in creating more extensions, Themes and helping others learn about the software and how they in time could also contribute.

Thus launched www.blogengineforum.net

I have tried to create a structure that I think will work, and over the next few months while people find it (And hopefully signup and contribute) will gather all the themes, extensions and other 'stuff' I can find to promote the software

I have already started to try and collate a list of all the BlogEngine Themes I can find - And intend to go back one by one and add screenshots, but work is a calling and I need to get this next project finished to pay the bills then I can spend some more time trying to make this 'new' community work.

So if anyone reads this and wants to really push BlogEngine.NET - Please get involved and help make the forums a great resource for everyone.
