Update: BlogService now has it’s own website, see http://blogsvc.net

I've started a new project on CodePlex called BlogService.  Eventually, it will have it's own website at blogsvc.net.  The point of this project is to provide a robust back-end for a blog site.  It uses the provider model design pattern for abstracting the data layer similar to ASP.NET providers.  I've uploaded a design diagram of the major classes. It also contains a WCF service that will expose multiple endpoints (soap, rest, json).

To kick things off, I created a community preview release that includes the following functionality:

1. BlogProvider
2. XmlBlogProvider
3. Business (Blog, BlogSite, BlogComment, etc.)
4. Configuration
5. Unit Tests
6. WCF Service
7. Multi-site support

This release provides most of the functionality needed to support a front-end blogging site. It does not include web pages yet.
