The Blogs module is one of those must haves on a website for helping traffic, advise your site visitors on helpful tips and suggestions that become like an online diary and wealth of information about what you can do, what your interests are and more.
Many companies and people are blogging regularly, simply because they love the idea of communicating with others, but in reality, it's a great tool to drive traffic to your website on a regular basis, but you need to make sure the information is useful of course!
Enhancements to the DotNetNuke blogs module have been seen over the last few years. With URL rewriters and more features, the blogs module is close to being a viable solution out of the box.
Others sometimes use modules such as the Ventrian Articles module to handle the blogs, although it doesn't present the categories / dates in the same format - but is very clean, customisable and easy to use.
