The DotNetNuke Blog Module V 3.05.00 was recently released, see Antonio's Blog Post.
The new DNN version has a lot of features that Antonio's talks about, download it here.
This is a quick post with some screen prints that show how easy it is to set up the blog for posting from a Web Authoring tool that supports the MetaWebLog API, such as Windows Live Writer.
Here are some screen prints from my install on a new Laptop that I am setting up for my travels to OpenForce, you are going also, right?
Step 1) Download and Install Windows Live Writer - The installer was a bit obnoxious and kept coming to the foreground to report installer progress...
Step 2) Start the install and select the option stating that you already have a DNN Blog
step 3) Specify another blog Service
Step 4) Put in your blogs home page and user account details
Step 5) WLW wants your posting URL, so head over to your DNN site to get it...
Go to Your DNN site and page with the Blog Module, Login and go to to the Blog Settings
Step 6) on the Blog Settings, go to the section with the MetaWebLog information and Copy the posting URL
Step 7 ) Post this information into the Windows Liver Writer Screen
That's it, you should be ready to create nice posts in WLW and publish them to your DNN site.
Good Luck and Happy Posting!!
