Moving your blog from BlogEngine to Orchard
I recently moved my blog over to Orchard from BlogEngine.net. Setting up Orchard wasn't too hard but it was time consuming to ensure my data was in the correct format for Orchard to use.
There are a couple of tools you can use to help speed up the process. In this post I will go from downloading Orchard to getting it running on your PC with your BlogEngine data.

BlogEngine 2.0 theme is now online
Just a quick note to let you know that my CoolBlue theme is now BlogEngine 2.0 compatible. Head on over to the original post to download this file. This theme plays nice with Disqus if you want to use that commenting system and will work with the new login page links out of the box.
I have also included a BlogEngine 1.6 version of the theme if anyone wants to continue using the older version of BlogEngine.
I should have a new theme available for BlogEngine 2.0 in a few weeks. If you come across a nice looking free HTML template that you would like me to convert to BlogEngine please let me know in the comments below.
I just updated my own blog to run the new BlogEngine and it was pretty painless to setup. The only snag is that I'm using Disqus as my commenting system so I've lost all my older comments because I'm using this new system. It's a small price to pay as personally I think Disqus is a better comment system.

CoolBlue - A brand new BlogEngine Theme
I really like BlogEngine.net but I've found it frustrating to get some really nice modern themes for it. There are a good few examples out there and I've blogged before on where to go to get some good themes but unfortunately the vast majority of themes look dated by today's standards.
