Choosing Blog vs Page Content

Here is a quick guide to when you would select Easy DNN News/blog content setup vs page setup:

Blog/Easy DNN News

Standard Page

Timing

Content has a known expiration date

Typically evergreen or seasonal

Entry portals

Content could easily be relevant across many site sections or pages

Content only needs to live in a single place

Similarity to other content

Multiple instances of the same type of content (ie, a library or catalog of items such as courses, calendar events, or articles that can be templated)

Content is a one-off item that is unlike other content on the site

Timing

Content may need to be quickly updated or added

Content can be planned ahead and can be customized by a developer

Maintenance

Ideally, content can be added and modified quickly without advanced skill (possibly multiple editors)

Content will not necessarily need to be changed quickly
