So, I have just deployed v1.5 of blogengine.net. A couple of issues I had after deployment
1) Initially I did not configure the site under a virtual directory which caused issues with the web.config setup.
2) Previously (v1.4.5) I was using MS SQL as my data store, this time I am using XML. The issues I ran into was not having permission to write to XML files i.e. could not change admin password etc.
Apart from that it was plain sailing and I look forward to blogging a bit more using this platform.
