I'm using ASP.NET on my current website and now I need to add some blogs to the site. I need at least 5 multiple blogs and I'm looking for a solution in ASP.NET.
I have been using WordPress before and was looking at Wordpress MU but as I'm running ASP.NET on this website it seems like a bad idea to combine these two. Also the blog is going to be in a subdirectory that I need to protect with ASP.NET so only logged in users can see the blog.
What is the best alternative for multiple blogs in ASP.NET? Or do you think I shall just use WordPress anyway?
Not the best answer:
But it is possible to adjust/extended the open source BlogEngine.net to handle multiple sites.
http://blogengine.codeplex.com/
That being said, it will take some work to make it support a "blog-network", but there are a bunch of developers out there that have done it, and there was an old project based off version 1.3 that handles multiple blogs.
Blogengine now has direct support for multiple blogs.
Is very fast and easy to use.
And it can work without a database if you prefer.
To understand how multiple blogs works and how to configure it look at Introducing Multiple Blogs in Single Instance for BlogEngine.NET
There's Community Server, which is the engine used by MSDN blogs. Back in the day CS used to be an open source ASP.NET showcase project, but it ended up being monetized. I don't know if they still have a free version.

Can anyone recommend any out-of-the-box solutions that can protect a "classic" ASP application against cross-site request forgery? I'm looking for suggestions from folks who have actual experience with the product. In particular, pros, cons, and implementation gotchas relating to the product would be very helpful.
The ASP application is legacy and is slated for decommission, so I'm hoping to find a solution that integrates easily and with a minimum amount of impact to the app.
Have you looked into using IIS level tools like UrlScan 3? We've used this with IIS 6 and classic ASP applications to successfully protect our systems from SQL injection and XSS vunerabilities. Plus it's FREE!
There's lots of helpful custom configuration tutorials if you want to enhance what is checked for. Read this article that covers specifically XSS.
We've also spent alot of time on re-developing our application code itself to protect against things like sql injection and people trying to post malicious scripts via url or form.
However UrlScan has provided a solid base for keeping our sites secure.
You can also look at products provided by Port80 Software.

Does anyone know of any good resources (books, articles, existing software, etc...) for learning how to implement A/B split testing in ASP.NET?
FairlyCertain is an AB Testing library for ASP.NET that's worth checking out. It drops seamlessly into your project and doesn't require any of the javascript voodoo that Google Website Optimizer uses (which kills your site's performance and SEO all in one shot).
I've been using it for a few of my projects for several months now with good success.
I have just written a short article describing a technique for doing split testing in ASP.Net MVC. You can check it out here
It will not take much work to make it work with traditional asp.net.
For anyone running into this post again, you may find this useful:
http://github.com/htayebi/AbTestMaster
It's an open source a/b testing framework for ASP.NET MVC which allows you to write the results either in sql database or csv file. You can download the nuget package or if interested, go through the code in github.
Google website optimizer?

I suggest you use Display Modes to achieve A/B testing.
But Display Modes just support simple problems by default.
If you already implement Display Modes in some other scenario. You can consider DisplayModeMatrix (just google it). It helps you use Display Modes more efficiency.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/DisplayModeMatrix/
Wth Display Modes you can simply delete/rename views after A/B testing to clean up your project.

I am more familiar with the Microsoft stack and I have some knowledge with ASP.NET and SQL.
What is the best open source platform to learn and create a dynamic website with, focusing on the back end?
PHP for the website development
MySQL (or PostgreSQL) for the database backend.
All are open source.
There is no such thing as the "best open source". There are many good ones that'll suit different programming styles and personalities.
Some of the more popular couple of open source languages for web development today are:
PHP
Ruby
Python
Some of the more popular couple of open source databases are:
PostgreSQL
MySQL
As they're free, give them a spin and see what you prefer.
Try to start with the dasBlog. you can see more information about this project and a lot more here and videos here
The two most popular open source webapp platforms at the moment are Rails and Django. They are both awesome, and a joy to work with.

I have a small site I developed for a friend that uses ASP.Net MVC and was wondering if I could hook it up to dotnetnuke or another CMS. Or is doing an admin site using dynamic data?
Here is a list of a few ASP.NET MVC based CMS's. However these are not based on the current release candidate but I think they are a pretty good start.
N2 Open Source ASP.NET CMS
http://n2cms.com/
Oxite
http://www.visitmix.com/Lab/Oxite
Hydrogen CMS
http://www.hydrogencms.net/Home.aspx
Take a look to Kooboo (kooboo.com). A simple to use and flexible CMS based upon ASP.NET MVC.
I wish there was a good CMS in MVC. However MVC isn't even RTM yet!
The thing with current .NET CMSs are that they don't handle URLs very well.
I'm hoping a CMS built on MVC will pop up at some point.
Try Composite C1. I have developed a few MVC modules for this. The good thing is that you can have both MVC and Web Form modules working side by side in this CMS.
Take a look at OpenSourceCms.com, they might have what you're looking for or the demos there might at least help lead you to an answer.
Oxite might be the closest to what you are after at the moment although I think it is more of a blog engine.
In my opinion, the only decent CMS is the one you write yourself. Just the features you want, with no inactive sections, but if you want to have a solid base to start with, try MVCwCMS (Please note I'm the author).
