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.

Lost is back! Thank goodness for the Tivo! I didn't realize it was starting back up tonight, but Tivo saved the day. I was at our DotNetNuke meeting tonight during the time Lost was...

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...

I'm making another brief appearance at the St. Louis .Net User's Group meeting on Monday the 27th. I'll be giving a brief overview of dotnetnuke 3.1. Though, their web site appears to be down right...

Check out the new dotnetnuke web site, one of the first steps in a major branding push for dnn. It's a great change, clean, easy to read, and I love the new...

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...

Last night's user group meeting ended up getting started around 6:20, maybe closer to 6:30. We left the building just after 9. I tell ya, my voice was about done with after those 2.5 hours, even though I had a glass of water there to try to help keep my throat going. I covered ALOT of information, I felt a lot better about this presentation then I did the one I had in Springfield earlier this year. I tried to stay more in line with the Powerpoint (any interest to make that downloadable?) as to not veer off topic too far and cover some of the key features of dnn. After finishing up with the power point I started working more with an actual dnn install and showing the capabilities and how to use dnn out of the box. I really could have talked for another 8 hours on how to use dnn, I know this because I've done 3 days of training on dnn before, so trying to fit the key points and functionality into a few hours is tough. Hope everyone walked away with a better understanding of dnn, and hopefully I generated some more local interest for the...

Well, somehow I have gotten back into doing web sites for friends! I'm currently working on 3, already setup one for Brian, setup one for Greg but need to tweak it to give it a good look and then train him on how to use it. I've also gotta set one up for Faye, but hers will have to wait till she buys a domain name, and so I can come up with a look/feel for her site as well. I'm using the new CommunityServer release from Telligent Systems for these sites, it allows for blogs/galleries/forums all in one app, and once I get the skinning down the sites will be pretty...

Well, I need to start generating some traffic to TwoPimps.com, so here is the official announcement and hopefully web spider link generator for TwoPimps.com! TwoPimps.com is a new project that Butcher and I are working on.We are currently working on T-Shirt designs and have one design completed and in product testing! Look for more information on TwoPimps.com...
