I see where you are going with that. I, however, could not get it to work. I added a second page, named it something else and added the blog module to it. The 'new' blog module came in with the exact same content as my first one. I deleted them both and recreated them, but it seems like the database is hanging onto the settings and reapplying them when it sees a blog module. I'm very new to DNN, so bear with me. I am trying to display images on a page as an image blog. The blog has everything that I would like the page to have: search functions, calendar to go straight to a date, descriptions if I feel like adding text and the ability to create different blogs with different content.
This may be my failure to understand how the blog module was built to be used. I assumed that once I had set the max number of entries in the module settings, there would be some 'Previous' 'Next' buttons that would show up and allow the user to browse through the pages. I'm still not sure if your procedure would provide me with this functionality.
Do you know of a module that would fit my needs better?
