The Charlotte Day of DotNetNuke® is a free event serving those who are interested in learning about the world's largest .NET based open source framework, DotNetNuke®. This event attracts many industry experts who are willing to share knowledge and experience about DotNetNuke® and it creates in-person networking opportunity for community members around the world.

• Are you having problems with getting a DotNetNuke site to look and function the way you want it to? 
• Are you looking to build a new website and wonder what DNN is really like? 
• Do you have a burning DNN question but are just unsure who to ask? 

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you should sign up for the “Ask Spiffy” webinar hosted by the Spiffy  Web Team.  Our group of expert designers, programmers, marketers and internet strategists work with DotNetNuke sites on a daily basis, giving us loads of insight on how DNN works and how to make it work the best for you. 

Business owners face a number of challenges, especially in this difficult economy.  They struggle to control costs, boost employee productivity, keep up to date with technology, and keep their information safe, especially online.  While these problems might seem insurmountable, they aren’t.  There’s a cost-effective solution that can help business owners easily solve some of their operating problems – Google Apps for Business. 

I have been a DNN fan since version 2.x or so.  Our relationship has had its ups and downs. Most of the time, it has been ‘up,’ since late versions of 4.9.  DNN 6 changes everything, and so far it looks like it changes everything for the better.

As much as I have liked DotNetNuke for years, I always kind of had to bite my lip when I showed the admin. interface to a client.  It was painful and unpleasant, but at least it worked.  The new admin. interface in DNN 6 promises to be much more user friendly and should make our clients much happier.
 

We've compiled a list of all of our video blog posts up until this point 

DNN Connections keynote speaker Shawn Walker discussing DotNetNuke 6. 

The other night while visiting some friends I handed out some of the M&M packs that Spiffy gave out during the Day of DotNetNuke a week earlier. This prompted one of them, a networking tech, to ask how scalable DNN was and whether it could handle large, high traffic websites?

I was first exposed to the term 'intranet' in 1995.  The firm I was with at the time was very much an "in house" operation; it seemed like everything vital to our operation was developed by the owner.  Our billing system was a homebrewed system build off DataEase.  Our internal e-mail system was likewise built off DataEase.  Our tech tickets, still paper back then, were straight printed from an early 1980s era dot matrix printer and you guessed it, they were homebrewed.

Hey there, here at Spiffy we're always thinking of what we can do to make every website work better. We thought it might be a cool idea to showcase some common requests that we get and what we came up with to help them out. Here'e one we get all the time.

What are we up to?  Here's something we thought you might find interesting.  How to make a catalog and checkout all on the same page without using a shopping cart module.  Check out what we did.

Forge Hill Orchards never had a website before and wasn't really all that familiar with website administration. See how we helped them get exactly what they wanted out of their website.
