Hey there,

I'm looking for a simple news/blog-module but none works. So far I've tried Blog, DNNgo.xNews, DNNgo.xBlog, DigArticle and EasyDNNnews.

Each of them passes installation without an error but when I add it on a site an try to access the settings or any other link the module provides, I get this error:

A critical error has occurred. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Can anyone help me?

Here's two errors the event viewer shows:

(I left out my domain and my user name)

The version installed is 6.2.2. As far as I know there hasn't been a version upgrade yet as this appears to be the version of the installation.
