I just went through and enabled HTTP Compression for the server that ChrisHammond.com, Solo2.org, and various other websites run on. Now, I can't tell if the difference is noticable, or if I just think it's noticable? hmmm
Followed the instructions in this article for setting up HTTP Compression on IIS...

If you are looking for DotNetNuke Reviews, I dug up a couple of things years ago, comparing DNN versus Sharepoint. The blog posts are from 2006, and while somewhat still valid, a lot of things have changed in both worlds. DotNetNuke provides a lot more features now than it did way back when. Sharepoint is still great for intranet setups.
Coming in DotNetNuke 6.0 Enterprise Edition there will be some Sharepoint integration available as a feature.
Google even tells me so!

I've been here in Lexington, Kentucky for the past 4 days. I was fortunate enough to meet two of the brightest minds in the industry! Also, I can't forget Chad Hobson (checkout that killer site, what mad skillz).
Anyways, back to the brightest minds. I got to meet Shaun Walker, founder of DotNetNuke, and Scott Willhite, one of the Board members for DotNetNuke. I of course got them to sign my DotNetNuke book while they were...

I decided today was the day to Upgrade Solo2.org.
I'm upgrading the software to run on CommunityServer 2.0 Beta 1. Here's to hoping the beta is at least semi stable! I've got all of the posts up through 9am downloaded and imported into a DB, now I'm working on converting them into a good CS format so I can get the site up and running tonight. I'm converting from a DNN/Ubb.Classic website to run Solo2.org fully out of...
Working on a customized version of the registration pages for dotnetnuke I needed a good regular expression to validate international phone numbers.
I ended up adding this line to my “register.aspx” page.
<asp:regularexpressionvalidator id="valTelephone2" runat="server" cssclass="NormalRed" display="Dynamic" errormessage="<br>Office Phone Must be Valid." controltovalidate="txtTelephone" resourcekey="valTelephone2" validationexpression="^(\(?\+?[0-9]*\)?)?[0-9_\- \(\)]*$"></asp:regularexpressionvalidator>
This requires no actual code behind changes, though I would recommend adding the proper information to your local resource file for language...
I've upgraded SoloPerformance.com.com to dotnetnuke 3.1.1 and put a new version of the DnnCart sofware up there as well.
The latest version of DnnCart has more friendly url changes, and is building links with friendly URLs using Category Names and Product names, which would help to increase our search...

If you're looking for a dotnetnuke book check out this one written by some of the dotnetnuke Core Team Members.
I believe there is a brief bio about all the DNN core team members, which means that I'm mentioned in the book! I've been in a few magazines, this will be my first book besides credits in some The Sporting News publications while I worked there.
Found a blog by WROX, looks like the book won't be in my hands for another week...
This post is mainly for search indexing, but have you seen the new SCCAForums.com? After over a year of putting it off waiting for good software (communityserver) and over a month of hard work, I got the new SCCAForums.com launched this past weekend. Check it out! Many more enhancements are...

I'm exactly the same place I started, I have nothing working.
Here's what I've tried
Install dnn 3.0.13
Install CS with the installer, without creating a community, without installing the membership roles, no sample data
Run cs_system.createcommunity trying to create a community with the applicationname of 0, which appears to be the dnn default app name
Install dnn 3.0.13
Install CS with installer, with a community, changed the appname in the cs web.config to 0 instead of dev (at least 3 occurances)
Run cs_system.createcommunity trying to create a community with the applicationname of 0, which appears to be the dnn default app name
Install CS with installer, create community
Install dnn 3.0.13 (dnn install failed)
Install dnn 3.0.13
Run CS SQL Scripts on DB
Run cs_system.createcommunity
Nothing of the above has worked, hopefully I'll have some more time to mess with things this...
I'm not going to do a full writeup here, but for those of you investigating the differences between dotnetnuke and MS CMS I have a bit of advice for you.
Don't bother dropping the $25k on a license for MS CMS, take a look at dotnetnuke, you can't really beat it's licensing costs, how does $0 sound? That's right, dnn is free to use. It's also, IMO, far more simple to develop for, as well as upgrade versions, it's very plug and play compatible with 100s of modules available on the net. Just try adding search into MS CMS, it'll cost you at least another $10k-$15k in fees, while with dnn you can use the standard search, build your own search, OR buy a dnn search enhancement online from NukeSmith.com for $17!
This is all, IMO as always, but coming from a developer who is currently working on a MS CMS project, I'd HIGHLY suggest going a different...
