This free video tutorial demonstrates how to install the FCKEditor. This editor can be used to replace the FreeTextBox editor that comes as standard with DotNetNuke.
The FCKEditor is a WYSIWYG text editor that allows you to add text and image content to your modules. The main module that you will use with the FCKEditor is the Text/HTML module.
I personally always replace the FreeTextBox editor with the FCKEditor as I find the FCKEditor to be more stable and reliable than the FreeTextBox editor. - Highly Recommended.

Once you have bought your own domain name (ie. www.dnncreative.com) and your hosting package, you need to point your domain name from your domain registrar to your hosting providers’ servers in order to access your web page.
It's important that you do this as soon as possible as it can take 24 to 48 hours for the new settings to take effect across the internet.
