I am new to DNN so I apologize if this question is in the wrong forum.  I am wanting a CMS system that allows users to go into an admin portal and create their own FAQs, news articles, etc.  However I want to be able to choose how I display the content within my own ASP.NET pages.  In other words, I don't want an entire DNN "website" but rather would like to "drop in" CMS contents in various ASP.NET Content Panes, DIV tags, etc.  To make this clearer, let me give a simple example...

Imagine a home page that has a small DIV tag at the bottom with the contents of a news article.  I want to simply pull the first news article, display the first "x" characters and have a link that says "...more".  Once the user clicks that link they are taken to a news.aspx page that lists all of the news articles and can click on an article for more information.  I don't expect this to be automated by any means, rather I expect to have to use DNN API components to pull this content in the ASP.NET code-behind.

So my question is this... is DNN a good tool for this?  Or is DNN really made more for "an entire website in a box"?

Take a look at Novus - It's a news article / blog module that gives you complete control over how the information is displayed.

There is a FREE version of Novus available for download from www.OnyakTech.com

I tried the free version and in combiniation with "News Feed" module it works great, but the novus module itself do not show news list, I can only display news by feed,
