Live video interview presentation with Dave Snow from Aging Safely Inc. This is a live walk through of Dave’s DotNetNuke website. Dave is a subscriber to DNN Creative Magazine. He has taken the CSS skinning tutorials and applied some of the principles to his own skins while also adapting the CSS to suit his own needs.

Dave’s site is interesting in that it implements a pure CSS skin along with some interesting use of 3rd party modules, so I thought it would be good to do a video interview with Dave and ask him to walk us through his DotNetNuke website. This video goes into the full detail of looking through the modules and skins on the website as an administrator.
