BlogSvc is now AtomSite
We have changed the name of Blog Service to Atom Server to reflect how flexible AtomSite is and that it can be used for more than just blogging. Of course, AtomSite comes with first rate blogging support. And, with the new plug-in system, you can easily extend things to your liking.

Welcome to BlogSvc 0.7
If you see this post it means that BlogSvc 0.7 is running and the hard part of running and controlling your own blog is over. To finish setting up your site, you need to:
Setup Service Configuration
If you haven't already, you need to modify the Service.config file to setup your site. You should find/replace "example.com" with your own domain. Also, you need to update the base address at the top of the document.
Setup User Configuration
I recommend that you change the credentials on the administrator account. User credentials are stored in the Users.config file. If you want to add administrators, authors, or contributors, add them to the Service.config file. See the installation documentation for more information.
Write Permissions
To create/update entries on your site, you need to enable write permissions on the App_Data folder. If your site is deployed to a hosting provider, you may be able to enable write permissions through the site's admin control panel. You can test it by commenting on this post. Please contact your hosting provider if you need support.
Security
If you changed the credentials in the Users.config file then you can login using the sign-in link at the bottom of the screen. The default account is:
Username: Admin
Password: password
Setup Live Writer
Download the latest version of Live Writer and add your new weblog account. You can edit, delete, and create new posts with Live Writer. See our Live Writer guide for a tutorial.

Switching from BlogEngine.NET
There are a couple posts about switching from BlogEngine.NET out there:
