1 BLOG IN DNN:
DotNetNuke is a powerful and flexible content management system for building websites. It comes with many features for publishing content including tools to create Blogs, Banner Advertising, News Feeds, and much more. All of this comes right out of the box and if you use the Community Edition, all of it is free.
If you are building a website, the web server and database server are two different machines located on the network. To install and run DNN you need login access to each machine with privileges to install software.
Internet access is necessary to download the DNN code and installation files but if you have made it this far we'll assume you are properly equipped.
