One of my colleagues Darren Neimke (MVP) has developed a mark up for blogs called BlogML.  Read about it here http://markitup.com/Posts/Post.aspx?postId=b11b0bc6-ccc8-4797-b371-3bb4d620c7d3.  The cool thing about this is that it makes your blog portable.  it has already been implemented in .Text, dasBlog, Single User Blog and is about to be implemented in the Community Server blog and Darren is also talking to MSN spaces about it.

Darren is keen to help out getting BlogML included in the DNN blog and says it only takes about 200 lines of code to implement.  I strongly recommend this idea as it will give .Text users and CS users the ability to move to DNN.

Hi,

I know this post is for the team but sometimes I just can't stop myself.  :)  BlogML seems to me like reinventing the wheel for the third or fourth time.  I can't see where it would provide anything over RSS 1.0 or Atom for transporting data from one blog to another.  Wouldn't it be up to the blog developer to implement an import mechanism to parse the nodes in from any type of XML they pulling in only the nodes that they wanted? It would also be dependent on the export mechanism of the blog software that the user was coming from and they already support (generally) several ways of exporting data now, RSS, RDF and Atom.

Hi Adeian, BlogML is different to Atom or RSS in that it is designed from the beginning to be an archive format as opposed to a subscription format.  Take a look at the formats you will see that BlogML provides cleaner support for categories and attachements too which ultimately makes it a much simpler format for adding extensions - as opposed to hacking them on top of Atom or RSS.

Before writing BlogML I went down the path of extending Atom to do the job and realized that it really was not the right way to go.  Leave RSS as a subscription format and use BlogML as the archiving format - as for what you do with Atom... hrm... who knows?
