Can anyone give me an idea how to start the blogging on this engine? I have Go Daddy as my host and I downloaded the blog engine there. However, when the home page comes up I truly don't know how to begin using the program. I have read the information on Blog Engine Wiki but I have gotten very far. The SQL server at Go Daddy established the write app but it would not let log on as Admin even though I was in the administrators manage account file. Anyway, I probably missed a step and cannot figure out where. Any suggestions? Anything easier to use?

I'd like to help but I'm afraid I've never even heard of the BlogEngine framework, so I wouldn't be much use.

I'd suggest you take a look at something like Wordpress, my blog is based on it, and it's extremely easy to get setup. Hopefully someone with BlogEngine experience will be here to help.

Phil, the BlogEngine.net program is run (and I hope I am saying this correctly) on an ASP.net framework. I believe it is 2.0. I hope this helps. I feel lost and reading (for me) is paramount to helping me understand what I do. I did find some books at the bookstore on the ASP but did not know which to purchase. As I am sure you know, books are quite expensive.

I'd suggest taking Phil's advice and use a more robust and well supported blogging platform like Wordpress.

Just wanted to say thanks for the suggestions. I signed up with Wordpress. I have two blogs with them. One is Glorious Impact and is a blog talking about the Word of God. The other blog is The Reader’s Experience and is titled "The Reader's Experience" and is a blog discussing books I've read. I'd like to start a book reading club. Feel free to comment.

Once again, though, Wordpress is so much easier, you wouldn't believe.
