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.
