There has been a lot of interest surrounding the release of a potential new blogging platform called ‘Oxite’. So what is Oxite, and why is there so much interest surrounding it? Well here’s the description:
Oxite is an open source, standards compliant, and extensible content management sample that can run anything from blogs to big websites.
Oxite uses an asp.net platform which will please many webmasters with Microsoft hosted sites, that had to install PHP in order to use Wordpress. It will also enable them to make alterations to the code much easier. Secondly, the code output on the page is supposed to be super-clean which has caught the attention of a lot of SEO consultants that often have to battle with the code of any content managed site.
The developers of Oxite stress that they are not trying to compete with the likes of Wordpress, Drupal etc, but are just providing sample code that you can use to create your own blog or content management system.
Unfortunately, tests so far have shown that Oxite is very much still in the alpha stages and many have suggested keeping a wide birth, at least for now. In the future this could be an exciting additional option to what is already out there, but further development is needed until it’s ready for managing large sites.
