July Issue 11 Released

I am pleased to announce that issue 11 of DNN Creative Magazine has been released.

In this issue we take an in-depth look into the use of headings within DotNetNuke websites.

As an introduction to headings we have created a 40 page PDF which analyses various professional websites for the best practice use of headings and semantic code within a web page. We then offer suggestions on how you can implement these practices within your own DotNetNuke websites.

Following this we have created a detailed series of videos which explore sIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement). sIFR allows you to style the titles within a DotNetNuke portal using any font that you require. This is a very powerful technique which can completely transform the look of your skin designs.

This issue comes complete with 7 videos and a 40 page PDF.

June Issue 10 Released

I am pleased to announce that issue 10 of DNN Creative Magazine has been released.

This is a completely free issue. For issue 10 we have created a completely separate DotNetNuke Skinning Resource, the DotNetNuke Skinning Toolkit.

This is a 98 page resource which demonstrates all of the skin classes within DotNetNuke so that you can easily view, search and learn how to style the various elements within a DotNetNuke skin.

This is a really useful reference tool for beginner and advanced DotNetNuke skin designers.

Following the research into the various DotNetNuke classes we have also outlined in further articles how you can reduce the CSS code required for a DotNetNuke skin, as well as tips for avoiding un-explained / un-wanted styling appearing in your DotNetNuke skins.
