I want to develop a personal blogging website using ASP.NET MVC 4.

I know that I could be using WordPress/ Joomla/ Orchard/ Umbraco/ Funnelweb, etc., instead of reinventing the wheel but I really wish to try it out myself.

I do not want my website to look like some beatle-aged archaic remain. I see plugins like Akismet/ Prettify/ Markdown/ nrelate that add amazing functionalities to your blog. But I am not really sure if I would be able to use any of these in my custom application as most of them are PHP based. I want to stick under the Microsoft roof and implement technologies like HTML5, CSS3 Silverlight5 and WCF 4.0, along with ASP.NET MVC 4. (At least thats what I plan to do)

I understand that I need to develop a scalable database design that could accomodate newer functionalities in the future. Additionally, the exorbitant focus on SEO and cross-browser capabilities is overwhelming. Permanent links for individual blogs, internal navigation, video-embedding inside posts, etc., sound like building Rome in a day

Please if you could guide me personally or direct me to appropriate resources, it would be very helpful.

    I am sort of doing it right now on my own. It’s not done yet but it will give you an idea: MvcBloggy.

    Also, have a look at FunnelWeb source code. It’s written in C# and uses ASP.NET MVC 3 I believe but it’s a really good resource and easy to follow.
