Z-Blog is undoubtedly the best single-user Chinese blogging platform based on ASP, and this title is well-deserved and quite appropriate. After several years of close testing and use, its functionality has proven to be excellent, with strong support for plugins and themes. Although it doesn't match WordPress's prominent advantages, it is already highly satisfactory for many Chinese bloggers. Previously, I noticed a notice on the Z-Blog backend website stating that "Dutory 0.1, developed by RainbowSoft Studio, is now officially available for download (December 1, 2008)." This was a .NET program, packed very tightly, and rumors about its plugin openness mechanism were kept very conservative. As a result, I thought Z-Blog might evolve into Dutory in the future. However, unexpectedly, at around 1 AM, Z-Blog 1.8 Arwen Build 81206 was released (December 6, 2008)!
