I bit the bullet today and moved from dasBlog to BlogEngine.NET after having upgraded my hosting account to .NET 4.0 and having way too many problems with my dasBlog install. I just exported the dasBlog content to BlogML.There are multiple posts about doing this.
The only thing I changed was the Global.asax code to create a permanent redirect for my dasBlog links out in the world to the BlogEngine.NET links using the following:
void Application_BeginRequest(object source, EventArgs e)
{
HttpApplication app = (HttpApplication)source;
HttpContext context = app.Context;
// Attempt to perform first request initialization
FirstRequestInitialization.Initialize(context);
//redirect to ~/post/2012/03/30/DomainAspects+Inject.aspx
//when url is ~/2012/03/30/DomainAspects+Inject.aspx
if (context.Request.Url.AbsolutePath.EndsWith(".aspx"))
{
Match m = dateRegex.Match(context.Request.Url.AbsolutePath);
if (m.Success)
{
string url = context.Request.Url.AbsolutePath;
string dt = m.ToString();
url = url.Replace(dt, @"/post" + dt);
context.Response.RedirectPermanent(url, true);
}
}
}
static Regex dateRegex = new Regex(@"(?<!/post)/\d{4}/\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/");
