My goal is this

    Accounting Page has the accounting blog

    HR page has the HR blog

    etc..

My first thought on how to accomplish this was to create child blogs. I have come to discover child blogs cannot independantly be placed on a page. I have read of two workarounds

1) Go to the Accounting page, select the accounting blog, grab the URL, go to the accounting page settings, change the Link URL to URL ( a link to an external resource) and paste in the URL that had the accounting blog selected

2) Create an accounting blog user, have this user create the accounting blog, set the blog to Personal Blog Page and selecting accounting.

While each of these workarounds give me the visual results I crave, each has a flaw.

Option 1 is a redirect. I am not am SEO expert, but aren't redirects considered bad if you want the search engines to collect you content?

Option 2 - when you select Personal blog Page, you lose the ability to include the blog in the DNN search. It becomes disabled.

I am wanting to find out what options I have.

Hi David,

option 2 doesn't exclude DNN search. You will have to enable it only on one instance of the blog module, to avoid duplication. Being activated on at least one instance, this setting will expose all the entries from the entire portal to the search engine.

Best regards,
Dario Rossa

Hello Dario,

The option to enable DNN Search is disabled once personal blog page is chosen. It seem that can be selected only personal blog page is not selected. I too have the same issue after I decided to create 2 instances of blog module using 2 different users. So now DNN Search doesnt work any more. I'm now using Search Blog option of the Blog module.

Regards

Ritesh

Hi,

Not sure how much of a solution this is - possibly more of a hack but it does the job.

I had a similar problem - I need 3 (multiple) blogs, each on its own page - see:
www.gcdemos.co.uk (which will shortly be)
www.triathloncompetition.com

Now - with 3 different owners, and each blog on its own page the "Enable DNN search" under module options is not enabled.

To get around this I set up a new page and set it up so that it was not visible in the menu. Simply add a blog module to the page and go to module options then set the "Enable DNN Search" option. Now as almost described in the developers response all of your blog module entries will show up in a DNN site search (providing that the re-indexing process has run)

If you need any further explanation then please PM me.

Cheers,
Ben
