How do you migrate a large, static HTML site to DotNetNuke? NACADA asked Engage that very question and we were happy to oblige them with an answer.

The folks at DNN Social competitor NewsGator have released the results of a survey of 200 of their existing clients at Fortune 1000 companies. The results, while biased, are intriguing.

The Southern Fried Day of DotNetNuke was a very well put-together conference hosted by QCDUG in Charlotte, NC.  I spoke for a couple of sessions, and enjoyed the time with the community, seeing what others are doing with DNN, and enjoying some great southern hospitality.

Brian Dukes and I have returned, fully recovered from the clanging of cowbells, shouts of "yee-haw!" and shots of moonshine from yet another successful Day of DNN, Charlotte's Southern Fried DNN weekend.

CHADD approached Engage with a simple question about our DNN training programs and wound up with a long-term development partner. We have worked closely with CHADD to relaunch an aging website that had become too cumbersome and dated for its members to use effectively. If the increase in traffic is any indication, the new site is a hit. Congratulations CHADD!

Partners and past attendees to DotNetNuke Worlds were sent a note recently announcing the next DNN World has been slightly postponed. We've been assured this is good news, and that the 2014 event "will be nothing short of stellar and worth waiting for." In the interim, Engage is proud to be a Gold Sponsor of the upcoming Southern Fried DNN event in Charlotte, NC, April 12-13, 2013.

 

Companies pay substantial license fees to use Enterprise 2.0 software, building their own communities on platforms like Jive, Yammer, Telligent and Mango Apps, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that DotNetNuke, the leading ASP.NET CMS has made a foray into social business software -- a $1 billion arena.

At Engage, we've really enjoyed using DDR menu for our skins.  It gives us a lot more control than we had before with the DNN menu (or SolPart before it).  One of the great features that we enjoyed was the ability to define a menu template using the Razor template language.  This gives us full access to C# code within the menu template, making it simple to do whatever we want the menu to do.  However, we ran into a snag when we started trying to update our sites to DNN 7.

There is an urban legend about a Harvard (or sometimes Yale) study that showed 3% of grads outperformed the remaining 97% combined by simply writing down their goals. The study is a myth, but even if the value only lies in the simple exercise of thinking about what you want from the year ahead, that's enough for us. Here's some of what we're looking to get out of 2013.

This year’s winner of the CMS Critic People’s Choice Award for Best CMS for Small to Midsize Business is... DotNetNuke!

VisitYellowstoneCountry.com was suffering under the weight of an older design, broken data feeds, and technological limitations that were preventing the site from living up to user expectations. Engage created an entirely new site, and brought home some bling from DNN World as a result.
