Hi

I've been running a DNN site for some time, & would now like to add a Blog module.

I've created a page, added the Blog module, which of course comprises a whole set of separate modules, & have looked at them all wondering what to do. Then I discovered the DNN User & SuperUser Manuals (I wish I'd found them before!), & see that I should move some of the modules to the side, leave some in the centre & move some otherwise to wherever I like:

From the manuals:

1. Add the Blog modules to a page. See "Adding a New Module" This adds one of each of the eight modules in the Blog module suite.
2. Move the modules to your preferred pane layout. A typical layout would be:

• Left Pane or Right Pane (Recommended): Search_Blog, Blog_Archive and Blog_List module. The width of these modules is designed to fit in these 'thin' panes on the standard DNN skin.
• Content Pane (Recommended): View_Blog. This module displays blog entries which can be lengthy, therefore it is best suited for the main content pane.
• Any Pane: Blog_Categories, Recent_Entries, Recent_Comments, Blog_Tags. These modules are suitable for any pane.

The trouble is, I can't seem to identify which is which. They all share the name provided when adding the Blog module, & many of them look exactly the same.

NO, sadly they don't. They're all just called 'Blog' if you go into the Module Settings, & they all just display the name given when adding the whole Blog in the first place. I think I've found a workaround - one of the modules appears to let me add all the Blog modules one at a time, so I'm just deleting all the other modules in the hope that I can add them back one at a time, so I know which is which - I'll name them accordingly as I go.

+1; Agreed!
See http://dnnblog.codeplex.com/workitem/... & vote today if you agree.
