Hi! First, thanks so much for contributing this module to the DotNetNuke Project. I love DNN, and I'm continually finding more and more ways to use it.

Here's what I'm after. I'd like to have a module that would display the last X (five, in my case) blog entries on the home page...displaying the entire entry. I can move the blog module that shows recent entries to the home page, but that only displays the brief summaries. To view the entire entry a user must click the blog entry title or the more link. I'd like to show the entire entry for the last X entries.

I've looked through everything and not been able to find a way to do this. Is there a way built in, or is this an item that doesn't exist at present?

If it doesn't exist, I'll probably try to write the module myself...any quick primmers to how the blog module is programmed and organized that would make writing such a module easier?

Thanks for your time!

-Charlie

Here's another angle for this...are there any other modules that would do what I want? Perhaps I should explain more clearly...

I want a module that I can regularly add posts to. I want this module to handle the sorting, searching, and display. I'd like something like the blog module that has a calendar that shows days on which posts were made, and shows monthly archives.

I want this module to allow comments to be posted, again, just like the blog module does.

Most of all, I want this module to have a module that can connect to or interact with it to display the last X number of posts/articles/whatever on the home page...displaying the full content, not just a summary.

Any ideas?

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

-Charlie
