As a follow up to my presentation on Dotnetnuke module development at BayDug last month, everyone’s suggestion was to put up the template on codeplex or snowcovered. So here it is.

The C# DNN Module Development template for Visual Studio 2010 is now available for use by everyone and here’s how to use it!

It’s almost done. Thank you for waiting. SpeedBlog Beta 2 is now available for public beta. Download it now from Snowcovered and give it a try. Thanks to the amazing feedback that many of you submitted during the Beta Preview, we’ve made quite a few changes from the previous version. Here’s a low-down of the new features, bug-fixes, breaking changes and how to go about upgrading your existing SpeedBlog installation.

Thanks to Chris Hammond who moved to Bay Area recently we now have a budding DotNetNuke User Group community in our very own backyard – the Silicon Valley. With a guest visit from Joe Brinkman, co-founder of DNN Corp, lots of pizzas and sodas in between some awesome presentations on jQuery (by Joe) and new DNN features (by Chris), how was I supposed to keep away from clicking a few pictures?

How does somebody package a DNN module? Login as host, go to Module Definitions, hit Edit on the module you want to package and voila, there’s a Create Package button!

How do you create a package from command line? Or, how do you create a package that contains multiple packages? I have to admit, I couldn’t Google enough to find a solution. So, here it goes.

I’ve never hosted with PowerDNN. I have no idea why their services are so -- “Expensive.” I also hate spammers. And scammers. So tell me people; what is it that I have missed about PowerDNN? Is it a ripoff? What’s with all the TVs and Giveaways spamming my DNN search tabs on twitter? Are people really stupid? Or is it just me? Updated.

It’s done! It’s over. Goodbye DNN Blog, Hello SpeedBlog.

Written from grounds-up, SpeedBlog is my own platform for writing blogs and articles.

Now, now I’m not going to say much except for quoting purely-narcotic - “Normal blogging shall resume soon.”

I know I have been looking like a totally third class blogger (with DNN Blog) without the ability of notifying commenters when their comments have been replied to. Without the notification in place, nobody knows that you’ve replied to them and you cannot really build a meaningful discussion in the absence of a Notification. Even if people do come back and reply to you, the thought chain gets spread over multiple, in-between comments that make no sense to a passer-by. DNN Blog really needs a Notification. Oh well, DNN Blog needs a lot of things to be really up to par. Here’s my quick and dirty solution to add a ‘Notify’ solution to the DNN Blog module.
