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.
