Azure-blob NBlog config/settings.json could not be found

Question

On github there is an open-source project called NBlog. Its description is “A lightweight blog engine built with ASP.NET MVC5, Razor, jQuery and C#”. Once downloaded, opened in Visual Studio Community edition 2013, and I hit F5 (RUN) I get a yellow page of death saying the following

I have posted an issue on github but have gotten no response.

Issue # 28

As you can tell, I have established an Azure account, along with storage. I created a blob container called blustor1. I found this blog post detailing

Uploading An Object As JSON To Windows Azure Blob Storage

something almost identical, except the following line of code

GetBlockBlobReference(blobAddressUri);

vs.

GetBlockBlobReference(relativePath); AzureBlobRepository.cs line 54

Alex uses an absolute URI where as NBlog uses a relative path Can someone help this newbie to Azure?

I just added the connection string value but it still did not fix the original error message

<add name="AzureBlobEndpointURL" connectionString="https://xxx1.blob.core.windows.net/json" />

The following file is present on my disk;

NBlog.Web/App_Data/localhost/Config/settings.json
