Hi. I used to have an easy choice between uBlogsy and blog4umbraco, however, it doesn't look as though blog4umbraco is designed for v6+ (there are no references to ompatibility beyond 4.x).
So I'm looking at uBlogsy, but it says I have to have the site running in mvc mode to use this.
How much of a pain is it to convert an existing site to mvc? Can I still use xslt macros in there? I see I need to switch a few things over in umbraco.config and web.config, but will that bust the site completely, being as it seems to have installed by default with webforms settings?

Any advice gratefully recieved.
Hope you have your answer allready, if not:
There are more uBlogsy versions: umbraco 6 (mvc / webforms) and 7 http://our.umbraco.org/projects/starter-kits/ublogsy So, yes it is possible, and you can still us XSLT (if you need this..)
To run MVC you have to change your macro scripting files (like @Model to @Umbraco) see this page: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Templating/Macros/Partial-View-Macros/ and more about mvc: http://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2012/10/30/getting-started-with-mvc-in-umbraco-410.aspx
yup. I did end up going with Ublogsy in the end, and tweaked the site to run in MVC mode.
Thanks anyway :)
