BlogEngine.NET 1.3 Fully Supports BlogML

BlogEngine.NETMads Kristensen, the founder and the team lead of BlogEngine.NET, has announced the availability of BlogEngine.NET 1.3 which is a popular ASP.NET blogging engine.

One of the main new features for this version is the full support for BlogML 2.0 as import and export tool and this is excellent news. Of course, previous versions of BlogEngine were supporting BlogML 2.0 out of the box but there were some problems that are now fixed in this new version.

I'm happy to see that our new partner and one of the common .NET blogging engines is supporting BlogML actively. BlogEngine is one of not many famous open source .NET applications that can run on Mono. BlogML 2.0 can run on Mono as well so BlogEngine users on Mono and Linux can use it with no problems.

Could someone explain how BlogML import is supposed to work (or direct me to a link that will explain this)? I understand how to export a BlogML.xml file from BlogEngine. That makes sense. But something keeps going wrong with the import.

When I click import, I don't get the ClickOnce application I can feed the xml, I'm told to download the blog.importer.application. So I download the application. I run the application. The application attempts to verify application requirements. Then it fails and gives a message: "Cannot download the application. The application is missing required files. Contact application vendor for assistance." What is going wrong? I feel like I'm missing some important piece of information...

I've taken a look through the help forums but it seems like I'm the only person to encounter this specific problem ? Thanks for any help or assistance.

James,

Actually this implementation is done by BlogEngine team and we’re not aware of their internals to know what’s the problem. But most likely it seems that this problem is not related to BlogML and should be a ClickOne deployment issue.
