I am developing my own blog website in asp.net. I wonder if anything like this exists, which I could place like a script inside each of my blog page and will work as a comment. Might be a third party tool, which will allow me to moderate comment before posting them.
Which also has login feature may be from facebook, google, twitter, open id. etc
Have you tried Disqus? Its quite popular recently.
It basically takes away all your worries on maintaining your own comment system.
Hope this is helpful,

I'm so confused about the instant articles. I use Wordpress to connect with instant articles but it told me that on Step2 (Submitted for review).
It couldn't review my Instant Articles at this time. Some possible reasons for this include the inability to access the mobile web versions of my articles (Facebook compares the mobile web version to the Instant Article to make sure all content has been included) or the font in my Instant Article not rendering correctly.As a first step, make sure that the mobile web versions load correctly before resubmitting. Please refer to the below reviewer notes for more specific information.
Moreover, I use Newspaper theme of Wordpress and already talked with the support of Facebook, They suggest me to ask here. I think, the system of Facebook is error.So, how to fix it ??
I hope you reply me soonest, Thanks!
The review process expects your m-web version of your article to have public/accessible URLs.
Make sure you have your articles published on Wordpress and that they are available publicly on the same canonical URL as you inform on your Instant Articles Markup.
Does anyone know of a way to auto post TO Instagram as opposed to from it? Google is useless at this, only pages on how to create auto posts from your Instagram page. The popular RSS auto-post Apps such as RSS Graffiti, Dlvr.it and Hootsuite do not seem able to.
My website updates with "reports" throughout the day. Each report has an image. Once the report is added I use the RSS Apps above to autopost to Facebook and Twitter. Seems to not be possible to do it with Instagram. I have a hard time believing so.
Anyone got any tips here?
I'm sorry to say I don't think that's possible. From the API documentation:
At this time, uploading via the API is not possible. We made a
conscious choice not to add this for the following reasons:
Instagram is about your life on the go – we hope to encourage photos
from within the app. However, in the future we may give whitelist
access to individual apps on a case by case basis.
We want to fight
spam & low quality photos. Once we allow uploading from other sources,
it's harder to control what comes into the Instagram ecosystem. All
this being said, we're working on ways to ensure users have a
consistent and high-quality experience on our platform.
We are planning to create an asp.net website (probably mvc), that needs a cms for news items.
Our content managers and others who require to publish news have asked if they can use wordpress for content management.
Our users have different roles, and news items should be visible to certain roles, or even specific users if possible.
The reason they want wordpress is the manager's user friendliness, so if some other alternative with the same kind of user experience would be ok.
Could anyone please point me in some direction?
NOTE: I'm still doing research at the moment, so I've got nothing holding me back at this point.
There is an API plugin that has been developed to spit out information in JSON, but I have not actually implemented a site with it:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/json-api/
Perhaps you could have the authors work on a wordpress install and create your app to draw content via that plugin?
I too was facing the same issue, little different. We want to have WP as CMS so that our site can take the benefit of SEO which is very easy with WP. SO we installed WP under a folder in the Main ASP.net based website. Initially there were issues, I was unable to run it. Finally managed to run it. Solution is posted here - http://www.wwwlabz.com/how-to-run-a-php-based-website-from-a-subfolder-in-asp-net-website. Hope it will help someone. Actual site where we implemented this is http://www.periproperties.com/content/.
Now I want to have specific section of WP to be accessible on my site. SO I am exploring different options and will post, if found something
Thanks.
DotNetNuke is the most popular ASP.NET based CMS (source). I am implementing my first project in it and so far I am very happy with it.
Note the free edition will not work for you since you need customizable security roles and free has a limited set of predetermined roles. You'll need the pro edition.
I don't know how similar it is to WordPress. Overall, WordPress is much more popular but of course there are platform issues with WordPress since it is Apache based and you want to create an ASP.NET website.
Whats the best recommended way yo hide my staging website from search engines, i Googled it and found some says that i should put a metatag, and some said that i should put a text file inside my website directory, i want to know the standard way.
my current website is in asp.net, while i believe that it must be a common way for any website whatever its programming language.
Use a robots.txt file.
see here http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html
You could also use your servers robots.txt:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
Google's crawler actually respects these settings.
Really easy answer; password protect it. If it’s a staging site then it quite likely is not intended to be publicly facing (private audience only most likely). Trying to keep it out of search engines is only treating a symptom when the real problem is that you haven’t appropriately secured it.
Keep in mind that you can't hide a public-facing unprotected web site from a search engine. You can ask that bots not index it (through the robots.txt that my fine colleagues have brought up), and the people who write the bots may choose not to index your site based on that, but there's got to be at least one guy out there who is indexing all the things people ask him not to index. At the very least one.
If this is a big requirement, keeping automated crawlers out, some kind of CAPCHA solution might work for you.
http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html
There are search engines / book marking services which do not use robots.txt. If you really don't want it to turn up ever I'd suggest using capcha's just to navigate to the site.
Whats the best recommended way yo hide my staging website from search engines
Simple: don't make it public. If that doesn't work, then only make it public long enough to validate that it is ready to post live and then take it down.
However, all that said, a more fundamental question is, "Why care?". If the staging site is really supposed to be the live site one step before pushing live, then it shouldn't matter if it is indexed.
I wonder if anyone has any idea on how to implement the nice and clean UI from PodPress (a Wordpress plugin) into .NET just like you find in the StackOverflow Blog when PodCasts are available.
And have that nice stats and iTunes integration as well :)
Added:
I realized now (stupid of me not checking first - using the meta key or even go to the admin page .../wp-admin) that SO Blog is on Wordpress, but still, my wishes are the same, How about a .NET version?
I guess I will contact the author directly and propose him/her a .NET version of the WP plug in.

I'm searching for the entire bottle of magic, iTunes integration, Stats, etc... Shouldn't Jeff give an anwer, he had to do something about this?
Jeff didn't convert PodPress into .NET.
blog.Stackoverflow.com is a Wordpress blog.
He simply loaded the PodPress plugin for Wordpress, clicked activate in his plugins tab and navigated to his newly created PodPress tab. There he configured his iTunes integration and his statistics information.
If you view the source of the blog you'll see:
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.7" />
Edit: Response to your comment.
Yes, I realized that after, but still... I WANT a .NET version :) (not to much to ask, is it?) eheh ;) – balexandre
The PodPress-WordPress plugin is tightly coupled to the WordPress Plugin Interface. PodPress is a mixture of flash, javascript and php and all of these are calling upon WordPress functions.
The PHP and Javascript are easily editable but the work required to hack PodPress to work without WordPress would probably be a little more difficult than simply re-writing PodPress from scratch.
Also, I've read on many forums about people getting slow responses from the sole developer of the project and how releases have been taking a long while to come out. So I don't think you'll be able to easily get him to rewrite his project into a different platform.
Your options are:
Use WordPress
Rewrite PodPress from scratch without any WordPress dependencies.
Find an alternative
The magic happens inside the flash player, so all you'd need to do to get the same effect is place that flash player inside an aspx page (or ascx control) and supply the appropriate variables like the file name and location of the audio.
Does that answer the question or am I missing something?
Well, for the player portion, you could use the Yahoo! Music Player: http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/
I know that's not exactly what you're looking for, as you want all the features of PodPress, but, I imagine this could be a small stepping-stone/starting point. It's really easy to use, and it's a decent interface.
I don't think there's a simple answer to this question. podPress is a quite a large plugin, and porting it to a new language and blog engine is tough; there's not just a single trick to it. I imagine that the included Flash and Java players and the supporting JavaScript is licensed so that you can use them in your project. (podPress is GPL)
Now, the StackOverflow blog uses WordPress and podPress, not something written in .NET, so my bet is that nobody has actually done this work.
