I'm wondering what others use for front page news and articles (where summaries are displayed with Read More links). I find the blog module a bit overkill for most needs. The announcements module is ok (as is DNNSimpleArticle), but I'd prefer something with a few more features and customisations (easily specifying article header styles etc).

I could suggest you Ventrian News Article which we generaly use.
Long time ago, we also used Engage Publish and, more recently, DNNArticles from ZLDNN.

I have used numerous modules over the years for News and Articles. You can't go wrong with the subscription at Ventrian to get News Articles and the other items Scott offers. But I have to say that the digNuke Bundle, which includes digArticle is great as well. I really like the support Mike at digNuke provides and if you are looking to do any integration with modules like Active Social digArticle really works well. I think you can get a trial of digArticle and see if it meets your needs.

Thanks all! I'll look into these. I thought the default blog module might work but it doesn't appear to like content approval workflows.
