Definitive List of BlogEngine.Net Extensions

February 10, 2008 00:04 by Admin

In my short time using BlogEngine.Net, I've been amazed at the number and quality of the extensions and plugins that have been developed by the community. When I originally downloaded the software, I saw the ones listed on the site, a google search turned up a few more, and reading blogs from Mads and Al helped me find more.

I realised that there wasn't a centralised location for all these extensions anywhere, so I decided to make one.

Currently there 60 extensions listed and I'll be adding to these as I find them. If you spot one that isn't on the list, send me a mail, or leave a comment below and I'll add it on.

Hi, Your [toolbox:BuildList] isn't building a list of extensions anymore. Can you post a temporary list somewhere if you're still keeping it up-to-date?
