DNN Platform (open-source) 10.3.2 is the latest stable version of the DNN CMS. It was officially released on May 5, 2026. Evoq is on 9.13.10, which was released on November 3, 2025 and is based on DNN platform 9.13.9.

Finding the right software firm to help you build and maintain your systems can be quite the challenge. Typically, it is who you know. "I know a guy who does development. Let me ask him if he can help/let me ask him who he'd recommend." But, what is the right method for evaluating whether your guy's recommendation is the right fit for your company?

In the past year we have released several updates - some focused on small improvements and a few major changes based on client feedback. Our continuous improvement Software as a Service (SaaS) model allows us to act quickly and release updates in a timely manner. Here are some of the recent highlights: We added an unsubscribe link to emails sent through broadcast allowing members/event registrants to opt-out of receiving those communications while still allowing to receive the event-specific registration emails.

Want to attract more members? Associations should take a cue from the consumer world and adapt their membership to a “made-to-order” model.

Wes Trochlil, president of association consulting firm, Effective Data Management, shares that data is an essential asset for any association. It’s what drives member engagement, increases member retention, creates additional revenue, and enhances marketing efforts. He notes that most associations are doing a better job than they think they are at managing data; however, there is always room for improvement.

One of the benefits of working within the DNN content management platform is the wide range of solutions that are available to you for any given issue. It's this flexibility that allows administrators at any level to handle site management, content editing, and even styling with ease. Styling will be the focus of this tutorial: specifically, the options you have for adding custom styles to your DNN site.

Choosing association-management software (AMS) can be a challenge. To narrow down the options, first decide between a proprietary AMS (built entirely by a single vendor) and one built on top of another application or platform, such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 or Salesforce.

Notably, we are the only Silver-Level partner in the St. Louis, Missouri market.

DNNCon has come and gone again and it was a great success. I met a lot of great individuals and caught up with some old friends. This conference marks my first time speaking at a conference, and I think that it went fairly well. You can find the links to my slide deck and example code inside.

The organizers of DNNCon have announced they are going to be holding the conference in Baltimore, MD. The event will take place on April 1-2, 2016. Here at Engage, we are very excited -- this will be the first DNNCon since November 2014.

Business Logic in Dynamics CRM 2015 gives us the ability to do many things that previously required a good understanding of javascript.  In this blog post, I'm going to show you step by step how to change the ownership of a record based on certain conditions.

Do you ever look at a view and wish you could tweak it just a little to get exactly the data you want to see?  In this blog post, I’m going to walk you through creating an advanced find that you can then save as a custom view.

In this blog post I'll explore a very real scenario where a plugin was broken after a recent update to Dynamics CRM 2015.  We will dive into the code and update the plugin to work with the latest SDK and actually deploy the plugin back to CRM.  

Since the release of Update 1 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015, you are now able to create a basic theme for your CRM instance.  In this blog post, I'll show you step by step how you can create a theme that matches your companies color scheme.

Over here at the Engage Headquarters, we recently have been excitedly discussing ASP.NET vNext, or as it is now called, ASP.NET 5 and the changes that will follow. This is a fair warning before reading on, this article is from more of a technical perspective than anything else.

Adding a report to a dashboard in Dynamics CRM online 2015 can be a little more difficult than it seems.  In this blog post, I'll show you how to work around a common error I see when people try to add a report.  

The Engage team recently got back from attending DNNCon 2014 in West Palm Beach, Florida. As this was my first time attending DNNCon, I did not know what to expect. I liked what I found there...

At Engage Software, we are often asked about DNN upgrades, so I thought I would write out how to do a simple DNN upgrade as well as provide guidance on the suggested DNN upgrade path.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a cross-functional discipline and to achieve findable websites, a variety of tactics must be employed. When building DotNetNuke (DNN) websites, optimizing your websites for findability can be exceptionally challenging. Rich, contextual content is the root of findability, but due to the nature of a content management system (CMS), content can have many disparate sources and control of your content can be unwieldy. In this article, I’ll list 12 tactics to make maintaining the fundamentals of findability in DNN easier.

In 2010, True Value and Engage launched a new, enhanced TruSite platform usingDotNetNuke (DNN). The project had a simple guiding principle – maintain consistent brand standards while allowing retailers to make their site personal. By leveraging a number of features inherent to DNN and extending the platform, True Value is able to provide retailers the tools to create and manage their own feature-rich content. Additionally, the True Value marketing department is able to provide a robust set of starter content to ensure brand standards and keep content current and relevant for all retailers.

The CodePlex Foundation enables the exchange of code and understanding among software companies and open source communities. That’s HOT. When CodePlex Foundation asked us to help enhance the features and design of their website we were giddy. Not only did this project allow us to do some exciting work, but we jumped at the chance to work with an organization whose mission we could get behind. As the branding changed and the site grew, the foundation's website easily adapted. The skinning features of DNN allowed us to completely redesign the website without losing content. As more galleries and projects became a part of the foundation, the website easily welcomed the new content. Additionally, each gallery and project owner now has the ability to manage their information. The leadership at the foundation is frequently providing news, announcements, and blogs on their website.

I really wanted the title of this blog post to be “Customizing the Telerik Rad Editor with DNN to Reinforce Consistent Content Administration Practices for your Content Editors and Other Implications of using Telerik Rad Editor as your Default HTML Editor in DNN” but that may have been a tad too long. In DotNetNuke 5.4.0, the community edition of the platform included the Telerik RAD Editor. This is an exciting new development for the community edition of DNN. The flexibility of the HTML editor in DNN is one of the most commonly overlooked features. For most content editors, the HTML editor might be their only interaction with the system. For this reason, customizing the HTML editor for your content administrators is crucial to user adoption and creating a friendly workspace for your editors. This blog entry is going to apply some of the same concepts from a previous blog entry for the FCKEditor, Optimizing the FCKEditor for DNN, but as an evaluation of the Telerik RAD Editor for DNN. Chris Hammond introduced how to include these features on your site in a blog on DNN Daily. I’m going to build upon his implementation instruction with some opinionated configuration recommendations.

Actually we've always served Europe, and customers around the world. I am fortunate enough to get to travel to The Netherlands this weekend, and it even gets to be work related! I'm heading to the One Day SDN event on 12/14/2009 in Houten, The Netherlands. I will be delivering three presentations on Monday, (read the full blog post for all the info)    

This was my second time in a row to have the honor of presenting my knowledge about the most widely adopted .NET framework called DotNetNuke. One of the most appealing reasons for me to devote my time to help build a better open-source framework like DotNetNuke is the wonderful community. I had to admit, I have never involved in using too many frameworks out there closely so I can't tell how great their communities are. But one thing I can assure you that DotNetNuke has a very intimate community that pretty much everyone knows each other and have used each other products. Paul Scarlett is one of the regulars in the community I ran into this year and he commented "I came to this conference because of the people". Paul is not the only one who has this kind of feeling. I am one of them as well. I came to the conference not just to share my knowledge to the community, but to meet and greet people I've worked with through the phone, e-mail, messenger... and any other mean of communication you can think of but I've never gotten to meet them in person. And this conference is just a perfect opportunity to finally interact in person.

So things are running smoothly so far at OpenForce here in Las Vegas. The Engage guys are all enjoying their time. Ian and Dang had one of the first sessions of the event this morning, and finished that up like champs. We handed out T-Shirts after the session, though people are requesting our hunter orange shirts from last year. We’ve got some red/maroon shirts this year, sorry to disappoint.

DotNetNuke 5.2 (now in beta) introduces a new feature which allows a developer to quickly and easily create a simple DotNetNuke module. This blog post will give you a first look at this new feature and explain its usage.

Why We Do What We Do

Here at Engage we’ve been doing DotNetNuke Training for well over 5 years now. Initially we provided training for existing clients, but over time we realized that we had the knowledge and a market to branch out and provide our training services on a larger scale. We even became the first, and so far the only, Official DotNetNuke Training provider. Starting tomorrow (Tuesday 9/15/2009) we are conducting another round of our DotNetNuke Portal Admin class via our webinar instruction. Our webinar training provides some of our DNN classes over a three day period. This round is Tuesday through Thursday this week, from Noon to 2pm CST. If you’re interested in attending our Portal Admin class for further instruction in the art of DotNetNuke administration be sure to get signed up as there is still time. If you are interested in other training information about DotNetNuke I’ve taken the time to write up a little more detail about the training that Engage provides for DotNetNuke, please check out the full blog post for that info.

This is my very first commercial skin I created almost three years ago when I was new to DotNetNuke. Since then I’ve been tied up with client work and custom design and it didn’t give me much time have a second look at it. With the introduction of DotNetNuke 5.0 a while back, I kept telling myself that Engage: Adaptive must be updated to comply with the latest version of the framework. Since DotNetNuke 5.x has been widely adopted, I decided it’s now time to give it a facelift. Engage: Adaptive 2.0 (it’s the version, not web 2.0) was released last week as I wanted to take advantage of the improved skinning and parsing engine. Although the older version of Adaptive (Engage: Adaptive 1.0) works in 5.x (install as legacy skin), you’ll find Engage: Adaptive 2.0 with a more structurally sound with a few minor changes in its design and layout.

The 2009 St. Louis Day of .NET featured six DotNetNuke sessions. From "DotNetNuke Jumpstart" to "Maintaining Design Integrity in a CMS with Smart Implementation Techniques" and "Packaging and Installing DotNetNuke Extensions", a good variety of DotNetNuke topics were represented.

Joe Brinkman wrote a positive (and in my biased opinion fair) review of “DotNetNuke 5: User’s Guide,” the book co-authored by Chris and me. The thing I was most excited about in Joe’s review was that he understood one of our key goals in writing this book – keep it simple. DotNetNuke can be an extremely powerful and useful tool for building websites.

So if you have been under a rock lately, you might not have heard about the upcoming St. Louis Day of DotNet event at the end of August, the 28th and 29th. I’ve been working the past few weeks to try to get some DotNetNuke sessions lined up, and so far things are coming along nicely! We’ve got at least 4 sessions currently, and I believe we’ll have probably 8 total sessions if myself and Cuong Dang get a couple more submissions in there later today.

So it’s been way too long, 6 months to be pretty exact, since we had a new release for Engage: Publish. Well last Thursday it finally came! We released Publish 5.4 on our website, though without announcement because of everything else we have had going on. Well here’s the announcement!

So Dang and I headed off to Tampa Florida on Thursday to get ready for the Day of DNN event, as well as teach a few of our DotNetNuke Workshops. We flew down Thursday morning, picked up our rental car (after an upgrade to a full size that worked out well, more on that later). Once we made our way over to the hotel we checked in and began working on our presentations for Saturday, there’s nothing like leaving it to the last minute right? When we checked in we picked up two packages, one with the materials for our workshops on Friday/Sunday, and one from Wrox with three freshly printed copies of my new book, the first copies I’d actually seen in print so I was pretty excited about that.

I had the privilege of presenting at the first annual DayfOfDNN event in beautiful Tampa, FL last week. Chris and I arrived in Tampa a few days before the event started to get situated for our pre-event training workshop. The weather was by far much better than the hot and humid summer days in St. Louis. We had a great time meeting new people and working with them at the pre-event workshop and the pre-event party.

In just under 24 hours I’ll be starting the first in our series of paid DotNetNuke Virtual Classroom sessions, our DotNetNuke Essentials class.  If you’re interested in signing up there is still time! $199 for 6 hours of instructor led DNN training, 2 hours each day. We had a great turnout to our two DotNetNuke Intro session that we held over the past few weeks, and will be offering that class again on June 3rd. http://www.engagesoftware.com/Training/Virtual_Classroom.aspx

I believe many DotNetNuke® fans out there are aware of the one-day event in Tampa, FL called Day of DotNetNuke®. Orlando DotNetNuke User Group President, Will Strohl, organizes this event and it seems to be a promising turnout. I am just excited to see another major DotNetNuke® event happen in addition to OpenForce in the U.S. Day of DotNetNuke is organized to provide free education to all who are interested in learning about the platform. I see this event as an opportunity to evangelize DotNetNuke® project to many who are new to it.

We are now offering DotNetNuke Webinar training classes. We held our first class on April 22nd and had an excellent turnout and feedback for this first free session called “Introduction to DotNetNuke”. We are offering this free webinar again on May 6th, 2009, you can get signed up for the class by visiting our Virtual Classroom page. The Intro to DotNetNuke course is one hour long, and runs from 12pm CDT to 1PM CDT.

So we've been in the building for well over five years now, I've been with Engage 5yrs coming up in May. While we did move downstairs, from upstairs (obviously), in that time, we have never had a sign on the building with our name. Well today that changed, check out the new Engage signage out front, I must say, I think it looks great! But now, instead of people calling the landlord to see if the office space is available, they may call and ask "What's engage?" Check out the picture of our new sign in the full blog post.

Recently I’ve been spending quite a bit of my time working on one project in particular; an eLearning Management System (LMS) for DotnetNuke. I’d like to take some time to describe Engage:Campus and then cover the basics of course creation and course enrollment. In Plain English Engage: Campus allows businesses to create courses that are relevant to their business, deliver them to the audience of their choice online, and track the results that are generated as users take courses.

This blog post marks the release of a new module for DotNetNuke. It addresses a common feature request of many web sites - empowering users to email a friend a link to your site. It is free module which includes source code. There was a lot of effort put in to making the module very clean and simple. For more information about the module, or to download the module, visit the Engage Software product page for Engage: Tell A Friend or the listing on Snowcovered. While the pages listed above provide all of the necessary information - I'd like to share a few technical highlights/features with those of you reading this who are developers...

I'll be heading to Orlando next week for my first INETA event for 2009. I'll be presenting at the DNN User Group meeting on 3/5. If you're in the area be sure to come to the meeting, I'll have some Engage: Hunting shirts to give away (the same bright orange that were a hit in Las Vegas at Open Force!). Check out the full blog post for all of the meeting information.

One thing that many professionals have been embracing for years is developing web site using web standards. DotNetNuke recently released version 5.0 with

Last weekend I attended a local .NET Developer conference - the St. Louis Day of .NET. It was a regular work day (9-5) of .NET-centric one-hour sessions. Most of the sessions were based (to varying degrees) on content from the recent Professional Developer's Conference (PDC) in Los Angeles.

Inspired by Seth Godin’s blog post “Don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone”, I decided to write this post to remind you about the job of evangelizing DotNetNuke if you’re already a big fan.

It was my first time to attend the conference in Vegas this year and it was a great experience. I had the opportunity to meet with many core team members in person and talked about how DotNetNuke project has gained some momentum in recent years.

One thing we learned in Las Vegas at OpenForce 08 last week, one of many things actually, was that most people think that Engage Software only provides DotNetNuke Training. While we do provide training, and have teamed up with the DotNetNuke Corporation to be an Official DotNetNuke Training Provider, training is not the only thing we do relating to DNN. Actually, while it has grown tremendously over the past year with our expanded marketing efforts, training makes up only a small portion of our business.

So for those of you who attended the Post Conference training last week after OpenForce you know we tried to squeeze too much information into the session and had to leave out some of the important items from the module development topics. This blog post will hopefully serve as a pointer to get you headed in the right direction for your module development!

So OpenForce 2008 has come and gone way too quickly! It’s Thursday afternoon and three of us from Engage are still sitting here...

The current provider model in DotNetNuke is very flexible, but with that flexibility comes development overhead. Over the past few months I've started thinking about how much time I spend simply on [easy, repetitive] data access tasks, and its a little depressing.

This post is overdue. I wanted to use this image in my slide deck for a presentation I gave last month at the Bloomington, IL .NET user group, but...

There must be a thousand people or more sitting here in the room with us watching Scott Guthrie’s keynote here on the first day of DevConnections/OpenForce 2008. Scott is currently showing some of the cool features that shipped with .NET 3.5 SP1 and VS 2k8 SP1 regarding object relational mappers (demo done in vb.net).

It's Sunday night and some of the guys from Engage are prepping themselves for spending this week in Las Vegas at the OpenForce DotNetNuke conference. Ian Robinson, Cuong Dang, Rich Campbell and myself, Chris Hammond, will be starting our journey at Lambert Airport tomorrow around noon.

With just 5 days until OpenForce starts in Las Vegas there is still time to get registered! This will be the ultimate DNN gathering for 2008.

With the new skinning changes in DotNetNuke, it may be helpful to give an overview of available approaches to skin developers.

It's been a few months coming but Engage: Publish 5.2 released last week while I was off in Kansas racing. There are a lot of new features/enhancements and bug fixes in the release. You can read a forum thread where I discuss a lot of the new functionality and changes here. You can also check out the release notes in our Wiki.

Approached by the team at DotNetNuke, Engage agreed to contribute our efforts to help branding DotNetNuke by creating a new design template on the new default skin.

We take pride in trying to offer professional products and services to the DotNetNuke community. In providing commercial modules, two components of the module define professionalism - the quality of the product, and the quality of the support.

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.

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.

Earlier today I created a list of blogs, podcasts, and web sites that are of interest to me as a developer. This are the sites I keep tabs on so I can stay up on the latest and keep learning. Some of them I frequent more regularly than others...

For my personal website I converted from CommunityServer to DotNetNuke, using Engage: Publish as the Blogging platform. I did a pretty lengthy writeup of the conversion process. You can read more about the conversion on the writeup.

For those of you who may have missed it, Engage: Publish 4.5 released last week. This release has some big improvements for the module, and lays the groundwork for a new major releasing coming in the next month or so. Read more for more information!

In April of this year I threw a little module together called Engage: F3 that allows site administrators and superusers to easily search for strings of content within their Text/HTML modules and Engage: Publish content on a site. Recently I've taken the time to come up with a new release of the module that provides Search and Replace functionality for the Text/HTML module.

Tonight we released the latest version of Engage Publish, 4.4.4 (12/9/2007). This release has a few minor bug fixes, a few UI improvements, and some enhanced features!

If you're DotNetNuke portal isn't sending emails as you would expect you likely haven't configured your SMTP settings properly. To configure your SMTP settings try the following.

Running all the new .NET 3.0 goodness on your development machine, but want to install content templates (maybe the DNN starter kit?) for Visual Studio 2005? You may see this error: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Wizardframework, Version=8.0.0.0,...'

As some of you know Myself, Rich and Henry from Engage Software have been at OpenForce07 in Las Vegas this week. OpenForce07 is the first North American DotNetNuke conference, being held this week.

For those of you who had seen it appeared on Engage Modules site last year and was removed, it's now time to revisit the "Skins" page and find out about our current and upcoming commercial (also free will be introduced in the near future) DotNetNuke skins. Last week , we introduced our very first DotNetNuke commercial skin to public called Engage: ADAPTIVE.

Well today was a fun day for the first day of OpenForce07. At noon we had a core team gathering over at the Luxor. It was an excellent time for everyone to socialize and meet face to face, many for the first time. I can't even begin to list off all the names of people I met for the first time today but it was a great event. Many thanks to Michael Washington for organizing it and Will M. from Activemodules.com for sponsoring it. The discussions we all got to have were great and I look forward to continuing many of them throughout the week!

I'm personally excited to announce that the 4.4 release of Engage: Publish has been uploaded to our EngageModules.com website and is available for purchase. If you've previously purchased Engage: Publish and are within your one year window you can also download this release for free.

There is a new ComponentArt rich text editor on the market - is it ready for DNN?

So I had hoped to have the 4.3.7 release of Engage: Publish out last week, but towards the end of the week a few things came up in the code that we decided needed to be handled prior to a release. A few of the items were small bugs that had popped up in some new testing we were doing. One of the major things was performance issues that were starting to pop up.

Nine of us from Engage Software went to Tulsa Tech Fest in Tulsa Oklahoma. I personally gave three presentations related to DotNetNuke, while the rest of the guys ventured around to various other presentation topics. Some of them will blog later today.

If you recall the basic marketing principles in college when you’re taking “Marketing 101”, two of the elements that contribute to the success of your products are making it easy to use/operate and writing the best user manual.

Well it's been a busy summer for me and it looks like it isn't slowing down just yet. Earlier this month I spent a week in the Washington DC area conducting some advanced DotNetNuke Module Development Training for a new client. In just over a week I'll be in Topeka Kansas for the SCCA Solo Nationals, I'm definitely looking forward to getting away from computers for a week and just enjoying racing a car or two!

Engage Software has just launched another website. The new site is a portal for The Ticket Guys (www.theticketguys.com). It is built using the DotNetNuke portal framework, though we had to develop new modules and enhance existing modules to get all of the desired functionality on the site. So if you're looking for St. Louis Cardinals, St. Louis Rams, or Boston Red Sox tickets be sure to check The Ticket Guys.

Are you going to OpenForce07 in Las Vegas November 5-8th 2007? I am! And I even have the badge displaying on http://chrishammond.com

A few years back I was enlightened by Chris Paterra in the ways of using NANT scripts to aid in the packaging of DotNetNuke Modules. Using NANT to package your WAP (web application project) modules within Visual Studio 2005 is a snap, and can save you a LOT of time each time you have to come up with a new release.

Welcome back to the DotNetNuke tips! I started doing this over a year ago, though with getting married last fall and working on my Datsun 240Z lately I haven't blogged near as much lately about DNN topics. So here we go, starting up again with my DotNetNuke Tips.

I'm happy to announce that I've been selected to speak at the OpenForce07 DotNetNuke conference in Las Vegas during this year's fall DevConnections. DevConnections looks to be one of the larger conferences this year now that the PDC has been cancelled for this year. I'll be presenting on "Portal Administration Best Practices".

I'm proud to finally announce that the DotNetNuke Wiki Project has officially released the first "production" version of the Wiki module. This version is labeled 04.00.01 and can be downloaded from the Project downloads page. You can find out more information for the Wiki module on the Project Page, and some basic instructions, version history and release notes available on the Wiki Example page, which is running the released version of the Wiki module. Thanks to Josh Handel for helping to get this project rolling again by donating his Ktomics Wiki module to be converted and used for the official DotNetNuke Wiki module.

Last week we were able to release the long awaited new release of Engage: Publish with all new bells and whistles.

I've had too many clients come to me and ask how they can search through all of their Text/HTML modules on a portal to look for links that point to their development URL rather than their production URL. Instead of telling them they had to manually look at every page to find all instances of these invalid links I created a new module, available from www.engagemodules.com

I see this requested all the time, so I figured I'd blog how I proceed with upgrading a DNN Instance.

Just in time for Christmas a new version of DotNetNuke has been released. On its 4 year anniversary of the first release, DotNetNuke released version 4.4.

On friday a Beta version of ASP.NET ajax was released, the number of features in the release is less than in the last CTP, but the features that remain have had some very welcome enhancements made.

This weekend I attended the Tulsa TechFest and had the opportunity to sit through the entire Ajax/Atlas track. While it wasn’t the focus of every presentation at the fest, I have decided to focus this post on the new Microsoft ASP.NET Ajax web development technology, which currently is out as a Community Technology Preview.

Read more for information about our DotNetNuke Training offerings.

Today on DotNetNuke.com there was a major announcement for the project. View the rest of this post for more information!

Okay, those of us who use Microsoft Exchange and Outlook to send email probably enjoy most of the features, including managing contacts, integrating our calendars with other Exchange users and Outlook’s ease of use in managing our calendar events and reminders. So why shouldn’t we use Outlook to send our corporate email newsletters and announcements? In this article, I’ll tell you what you’re missing by using Outlook and not using email software or relying on an email service provider.

Who is to say that one of the giants in sport business does not need more brand attention? A local advertising agency, Schupp Co in St. Louis has helped Cardinals with a great caper kicking off the 2006 Season – Redbird heist.
