We will create and configure the following pages:

  • Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs Module
  • Documents - Document Manager Module
  • Executive Blog - DNN Blog Module
  • Community Forums - Forum Module

  • We also show you all the basic DotNetNuke administration techniques you will need to further develop your DNN website.

In this tutorial we walk you through step by step how to customize and personalize the demo DotNetNuke 6 homepage.

We will add some dynamic content and modules to keep your homepage fresh and informative.

We first show you how to upload and insert images into the header banner; we then demonstrate how to link the social icons to your own social networking pages, finally we introduce a ‘latest posts’ module to our home page which updates itself whenever we post in our executive blog.
