Most hosting providers will only allow Medium Trust applications under ASP.NET 2.0, which means vanilla dasBlog is not a viable blogging platform in these cases. ThinkJot 1.0 (2.0 is coming soon) is a stripped-down fork of dasBlog and it will compile and run under Medium Trust ASP.NET 2.0 without any problems.

However, connecting with blog editors like Zoundry or Microsoft Live Writer might fail with a “Operation could destabilize the runtime” error. The issue is rooted in the xml-rpc.net runtime and described here. To solve it, you have to download the latest version of xml-rpc.net, grab the source of ThinkJot 1.0, update all references to CookComputing.XmlRpc.NoSN.dll in all apps references by the web to the new version CookComputing.XmlRpcV2.dll and recompile. The blog software connection will then work without a hitch.

This blog uses ThinkJot 1.0, a fork of dasBlog. Both might have a problem on some systems running ASP.NET 2.0, namely dialog boxes on the server side which can cause the system to hang. See Scott Hanselman’s blog for more details.
