Hi. I am quite new to the Blog module on DNN. I have made use of the blog module provided by DNN on my website. However, I have a common Left Menu control(.ascx file) on all my pages which contains the links to navigate/browse through the remaining site. I am finding it very difficult to integrate this left menu control with the Blog module. Can you suggest how do i do that?

Also if that is not possible could you please tell me if it is possible to make use of the .ascx files provided by DNN in their Blog module on any of my .aspx pages?

I somehow can't seem to figure out where is the code for the Blog module. Apart from the UI part( the .ascx files) I can't seem to find anything else to try and customize this module for my site.

I am a total rookie when it comes to this i know...:( Please please help me out.:(

 Blog is a WAP module, any business and data layer code is baked into /bin/dotnetnetnuke.modules.blog.dll

Thanks Sebastian. So in the absence of a tool like the reflector i can't possibly change the Blog's code right? Can i possibly use the .ascx files offered by the Nukes Blog, seperately, and as per my requirement on an aspx page i create? Can that be done? If yes what are the kinds of changes that i should expect to make? Please do answer. Thanks a lot.

no, you can download source code, install in your local development site, edit and recompile with VS 2005 or 2008.
