Anyone point me to any article that describes how to use themes and skins in an asp.net mvc application?
I would use different CSS files as George suggests. You can achieve an awful lot this way. See CSS Zen Garden for examples of just how much you can do.
If this doesn't give you enough control then you can also specify a master page in your controller like this:
return View(stringViewName, stringMasterName, model);
For ASP.NET MVC, you don't have the ASP.NET 'Themes' mantra, you typically use CSS.
this guy uses a custom view engine to solve this problem, I like this solution better than ASP.MET MVC Dynamic Themes, however I didn't tested any of both, I'm still looking for something.

It is for implementing a public website with more than 100 content pages and severals subdomains and cultures. The design is already done (HTML,CSS), so the CMS should be flexible and easy to control the presentation details.
Because that, I thought to use ASP.NET MVC4 to control the output HTML, and I am looking for a good CMS to work with.
I've been recommended to use Sharepoint, but I think it is not a good idea for a public website. I am thinking of Umbraco CMS as it integrates great with MVC.
Any other CMS to take into account?
Thanks in advance!
Havent used other CMS out there but heavily use Umbraco and think its best .net CMS to use because you can make it as complex or as simple as you want , supports multi domains and cultures with the use of dictionaries for the different cultures and most important of all a great community and its free.
Orchard CMS is a good choice. It provides lots of features.

What are some good free charts that can be used at ASP.NET MVC website?
The chart should be able to display data from my website. (I need a dynamic chart)
RaphaelJs and plugin for charts is very useful. Take a look
http://dmitrybaranovskiy.github.io/raphael/
http://www.highcharts.com/
it's a js lib too; but i think almost lib is js lib.
i know only one solution not js lib
see this http://weblogs.asp.net/gunnarpeipman/archive/2010/10/10/asp-net-mvc-3-beta-built-in-support-for-charts.aspx

I've been looking at creating themes for wordpress, but I'm not a fan of PHP. I'd rather use Rails.
Does anyone know of a blogging engine written using Rails?
http://radiantcms.org/

There are a couple of blog engines written using rails. Kalyan M highlighted a few good ones. Here are a couple more for you to consider based upon your needs:
Refinery CMS
I tested this cms before and really like how simple it is to use. In fact, RailsCast did a really nice video on how to install and use this. http://railscasts.com/episodes/332-refinery-cms-basics
Browser CMS
I have not used this before but my fellow non-dev friend who used it really like that it is non-dev friendly.
Locomotive CMS
Radiant CMS
This is one of the oldest Rails cms out there. It has a large amount of extensions contributed by the community and is constantly improving. I would recommend that you test this out.
Good luck!

I have an MVC application in process of development and want to see if I can create or integrate it into an MVC-based CMS environment. The idea is that the application will appear to run in an environment wherein the user can actually add/edit web pages, download documents do blogs, handle Facebook integration etc.
In some respects I am almost looking for an Application Framework but that is not entirely the case. The application uses EF with an IRepository to allow switchable back-ends (including switching out EF). The key requirement is simply within the same solution to be able to provide a CMS type of management.
Architecturally I have thought of a side-by-side approach and also using a Module type approach wherein the app sits inside a CMS system.
In the immediate term does anyone have any comments, advise or experience as to how I could do this?
Take a look at the ASP.NET MVC based AtomSite. It may have the features you are looking for.
Well it looks like the answer finally came along with the Orchard Project which looks crisp and (reasonably) light-weight and provides a good MVC basis with Application Framework features for application development.

Using C#, preferably Asp.net MVC I want to implement a wiki solution which consists of a unique markup language and article display. However I also want to provide standard wiki features such as RSS, Versioning, ext.
What existing wiki would you recommend me to base upon?
I'm not aware of a mature ASP MVC wiki, but in the asp.net webforms area screwturn is my favourite.
screwturn.eu is your friend. It go all the other tricky stuff solved (and there is a lot of that!)
You can easily replace the page formatter pipeline (core/FormattingPipeline.cs in screwturn) or more simply just add custom formatters
MVC is nice but shouldn't be a requirement for a wiki which is effectively just one page (default.aspx in screwturn's case)?
You should be able to use Url re-writing to make each page have a pretty URL, this is how MVC framework work any ways
e.g. site.com/pageName > site.com/pageName.ashx
