I'm somewhat familiar with Wordpress and I've used it a little. There is a huge community with tons of plugins and themes etc. Does the BlogEngine.Net compare favorably? Is there another .NET CMS that you would recommend?

Thanks for your help.

Compared to WordPress, BlogEngine.NET is relatively immature and has a much smaller community. That's not to say BlogEngine isn't good on its own merits, but it's definitely more niche where WordPress is mainstream.

As far as .NET CMS solutions, and not just blogging platforms, N2 and Graffiti are both very well-regarded and seem to be widely adopted. They are also both geared towards more flexible CMS than simply blogs, although have blog-like functionality baked in. Of course, N2 is open source and Graffiti is a paid product (albeit quite inexpensive), but both do quite well.
