I used to run a WoW guild website on DNN.  That has died and now I just have a personal site running on it.  Mainly just a blog.  And the core blog doesn't seem that great compared to others out there.  I really want to continue using DNN, but is it worth it?  Has anyone used Subtext?  dasBlog?  Community Server looks nice too.  Any opinions?

I think it depends on your requirements - if you JUST have a blog then I would say DNN is definitely overkill! There are loads of good blogging tools out there for this express purpose (and hence will probably always be better than a component of a bigger suite) - plus you don't have to worry about hosting and the tech side of it.

However, if it's a website you want then DNN is made for it. I  think you need to decide on what you want on your site and if it's worth implementing DNN for it. I had a quick look at your site and it does primarily seem to be a blog. You can now make your own pages with PageFlakes, Google etc. and add your blog RSS feed and module like Flikr (ie. for photos) - so perhaps this would be easier and quicker and allow you to focus on the content and not the technical implementation of it? Up to you...

I use DasBlog, and have been very happy with it.
