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? :-) -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John W. Colby Sent: Friday, September 30, 2005 9:57 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' 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.
