I promised the BlogEngine.NET team I'd put together one more theme before the next release. I initially picked out about 8 possible starting templates earlier in the week and tonight I picked Dirtylicous by Arcsin as the next one I'd make.
The process really is a snap. I easily spent more time deciding which one to do than I did actually creating the theme. I'll likely do a more colorful one next but Dirtylicious is a nice, stra...

It seems I have a thing for blog engines. I started building one that I used for a while. It worked well, but I only had some of the many features I wanted and I had limited time to work on it.
