Ok, I’ll admit that I’m new to this, are there instructions on setting the blog module up somewhere?

I am not sure if there are any actual "instructions" for setting  up the blog.  I would recommend starting by just playing around with it a bit, start with the 'Settings" page and work from there.

The only thing I found when doing a google search was that dnncreative.com has some tutorial videos on how to setup/configure/use the blog module, however, their site is a subscription site.

I am also new to DNN and I have to say it's extremely frustrating that there is no install documentation for this blog module.  No offense to those who are charging for their subscription, but it's ridiculous that it should come to that.

No offense taken.  Sometimes the evolution and development of the OS projects is not always very "tight".  Antonio has only recently taken on Blog and has fixed a number of old bugs, is adding some cool new features and has a great plan to improve.

That said... this post may actually help you in the time being.

Scott, thank you very much for your reply.  That demo will come in handy.  What I was really looking for and couldn't find was technical specs like the required/recommended version for DNN to run blog module 3.03, does the install require the files reside in a specific location (it's own directory, a subdirectory, doesn't matter), does the install require that the zip files are unpacked on the server running DNN because of registry entries or can it be unpacked on any machine and simply copied to a location later, and things of that nature.  The n00b in the name is there for a reason.  :)
