So I've been saving this blog post for over a month, now that there is information out in the open I'm going to post it! OpenForce08 is coming! Being held at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas again this year, November 10th thru the 13th. The OpenForce08.com website is still getting updated but you can find out information about OpenForce08 by checking out the DevConnections website http://www.devconnections.com/openforce/

Skinning is not a skill; it’s a profession that requires knowledge and experience in understanding the DotNetNuke platform (especially with the skinning engine), web standards, as well as aesthetic design.

Back in November 2007, I was invited to be a technical reviewer for a book called DotNetNuke Skinning Tutorial by Packt Publishing Company. Having seen limited resources about DotNetNuke skinning, I agreed to be involved in the project instantly. It was an exciting experience since I have never had any experience in working with formal documentations besides DotNetNuke training documentations I wrote here with the team.

It took two years, and adding girls to the team, but we finally won a softball game! In 2006 we played in a men's rec league and managed to screw up every game just enough to lose. Well tonight was the first game of the 2008 Season and we pulled off a winner! 15-8!

After weeks of preparation, our first training offering in St. Louis is complete and I can finally relax a little bit. At Engage, we have offered on-site training for quite sometime; however, it is such a different and exciting experience for all of us for holding training classes in St. Louis.

 

In the first DotNetNuke newsletter from the DotNetNuke Corporation for 2008 the project spotlight showcases a website that is using Engage: Publish for content management. Here's some of the text that was included in the newsletter. "At the ZoneDiet.com site, visitors can get a wealth of information about the Zone Diet, in addition to being able to order official Zone Products (Omega-3 Concentrates, Food Items, Polyphenols, Supplements, Skin Care Products, Books) through the e-commerce store. "

Many times I have been asked the same question by various clients regarding the DotNetNuke CSS load order. Many of them were having difficulties when customizing their modules and skins to have uniform styles. Simply understanding the DotNetNuke CSS hierarchy is essential when performing these tasks.

We at Engage Software have just released the latest update to our DotNetNuke Jobs Listing module, Engage: Employment, version 1.3.  This is a module you can use on your company's DNN site to list the job openings you have available at your various locations, and accept and sort applications and applicants.

Have you ever used the DefaultButton property on an ASP.NET Panel, only to find that it doesn't work in Firefox? Here's an easy way to use DotNetNuke's ClientAPI to achieve the same result for more than just IE.

Engage Software is proud to announce we have attained Gold Partner status within the Microsoft Partner Program.

Earlier today we had a customer post a question in the forums on www.engagemodules.com regarding using Engage: Publish as a replacement for the Text/HTML module within DotNetNuke.
