ScottW is a very busy guy :)
When I asked first I didn't get an answer at first either, but now I got it. He's the way to go to get a blog here. I'm guessing he gets a lot of mails every day ;)

Actually, I'd be curious to see how my blog writer would play with .Text... wonder if there's a test blog I could point to...

.Text is open source, so you can download it and install locally or on a webserver somewhere.

And yes, Scott's the guy to ask, but he *IS* busy, so be patient!

Now that it is open source, someone will, I'm sure, eventually write a "blog request" screen that he just has to click yes/no to instead of manually setting it up.

I was wondering that too-- can't blame a guy for being busy. The .TEXT code alone must be a time sucker.

If your friends are serious about blogging, they could always ask me. I run blogs.geekdojo.net and while not as popular as weblogs.asp.net, we get pretty decent readership.

Have them contact me through my blog if they are interested.

Yes, it's open source, but you need ASP.NET and SQL Server configured - the former is easy, the latter is not. I'd much rather hit a test page and see if my writer can work with it OK... much much easier that having to install SQL Server and configuring it properly.
