Try BlogEngine.Net. If I recall, it can also be installed by the Web platform Installer. Other features (quoted from the product page):
- Multi-author support
- Pingbacks and trackbacks
- Event based for plug-in writers
- Theming directly in master pages and user controls
- Gravatar and coComments implemented
- Live preview on commenting
- Comment moderation
- BlogML import/export
- Extension model
- Code syntax highlighting
- Mono support
- Full editing and creation of pages that are not posts
- Extended search capabilities
- Tag cloud
- Self updating blogroll
- Runs entirely on XML or SQL Server. Your choice.
And it's completely open source. I self compiled the version I used.
I used dasBlog because it was really easy to customize, install, and it didn't need a database.
I would recommend Subtext. It can be easily installed using Web Platform Istaller. Subtext is an open source project licensed under the BSD license.
It's designed and written by Phil Haack who is a Senior Program Manager at Microsoft responsible for ASP.NET MVC.
