I think the idea of blogging on ASP just doesn't feel right to me

Blogging with MS Open Source just seems wrong to me too!

Couldn't agree more, i just found it interesting Microsoft was starting to play with the open source blog "big boys".

A blog platform is something you use to build your own blog like Wordpress, and Moveable Type. Where as blogging is the act of making a post to your blog.

I think heist meant what difference does the platform have on blogging.

Like blogging on ASP would be like camping in the back of a semi trailer. Overkill, the feeling that lots of product has been in it before, and someone else is driving it.

Blogging on PHP is like camping in a nice little campervan. There's lots you can do, and it's all right there in front of you. Everything works nice and smooth, and you can compare it with your friend's one.

Gee I'm rambling....

I don't care about the platform, but I do care about the features. WordPress and Moveable Type have pretty much set the standard as to how a blog should operate (in terms of commenting, trackbacks, posts, permalinks etc) and whenever I try out a new blogging application, the areas in which it doesn't match those expectations always grate.
