Not that I had zillions of visitors, but I have a few posts in my pipeline that might draw some attention here, so I'd better be prepared. As I already keep some of my stuff in MSDE, .Text won over dasBlog, even though the latter looks to be better feature-wise. dasBlog was closer in spirit to my solution, but I liked simplicity of backing up only a database along with rest of my data. The fact that hundreds of Microsoft bloggers are using .Text speaks for itself as well.
