Wow, I am totally impressed John... I did not know you were so adept at
building flash or is that just one of DNN's feature/options (?); excellent
regardless. The site is very easy to navigate and it is very clean. 

(Could I be so bold as to suggest a smaller font size and maybe even a text
font of a dark grey instead of black... fashion is such a fickle thing.)

All fooling aside the new site is great.
 
Jim

PS: Where is the link to the DBA site? ... and where is the .Net versions of
your downloads? :-)

Subject: [AccessD] My new web site

Anyone interested please visit.  I am using DotNetNuke to build my new web
site.  It is still a work in progress, as is my knowledge of DNN.  What you
see on my site has been done in just about a week.  

For a side by side comparison:

My new site: www.colbyconsulting.com
My old site: www.jwcolby.com

I am finding DNN to be a pretty cool web site framework.  It REQUIRES SQL
Server and so you must purchase a hosting package that includes SQL Server,
but it gives the developer (knowledgeable in Visual Studio) the ability to
write custom modules to work with data from SQL Server using plug-in modules
that you write.  DNN is written using VB in VS 2003, and I own VS 2001 so I
am at a standstill ATM, however I am about to order the academic version (my
wife is a teacher) of VS 2003 which will allow me to start developing
snap-in modules for DNN that can dish up data.  Stand by for that.

Any comments welcome.  I am not a web site developer so do not expect a
world class web page, but I think that given my limitations it looks pretty
good.
