Dot Net Nukers
My company is changing blogging platforms, the original plan was to go from Blogger to DNN, but today, we got this email from our SEO guy:
"...there is no blogging platform that can compare to Wordpress for SEO and social functionality. And no other platform has the same momentum of development behind it. You will simply never be in a position to match it in terms of development and functionality.The resources behind Wordpress are enormous."
Does anyone have experience using DNN as a blogging platform? How is the social functionality? Are the customizable SEO options adequate?
Can anyone give me a comparison of DNN V Wordpress as a blog hosting platform?
Be honest, and thanks for the help!
Honestly, as a blogging platform, your SEO guy is speaking honestly.
However, as an all-over web development platform, DotNetNuke is better. If you just want a blog, the current DNN blogging options can't match up to wordpress exactly. But if you're doing other things with your site, such as a true social platform, membership site, or any other myriad of web applications, you'll find that Wordpress increasingly looks like a one-trick (blogging) platform. Which is understandable - it's designed primarily as a blogging platform, while DotNetNuke is designed to be a complete web application framework.
