Engage Software has just launched another website. The new site is a portal for The Ticket Guys (www.theticketguys.com). It is built using the DotNetNuke portal framework, though we had to develop new modules and enhance existing modules to get all of the desired functionality on the site. So if you're looking for

I recently returned from a trip to Chicago to offer a corporate customer a two day training session on Advanced DotNetNuke Topics. That has inspired me to increase some of our marketing materials here at Engage Software to include more of our training options. While we offer training on everything within DotNetNuke, we only list off a small fraction of those topics on our DotNetNuke Training page.

Here's a longer list of some of the training options we can offer for your business needs. (I'll be adding/editing to this list over the next few days)

• Introduction to DotNetNuke
  • Developer
  • Site Administrator
  • System Administrator
  • User/Editor
• Server Configuration
  • IIS
  • Database
• Installation

Welcome back to the DotNetNuke tips! I started doing this over a year ago, though with getting married last fall and working on my Datsun 240Z lately I haven't blogged near as much lately about DNN topics. So here we go, starting up again with my DotNetNuke Tips.

I'm happy to announce that I've been selected to speak at the OpenForce07 DotNetNuke conference in Las Vegas during this year's fall DevConnections. DevConnections looks to be one of the larger conferences this year now that the PDC has been cancelled for this year. I'll be presenting on "Portal Administration Best Practices".

I look forward to sharing what I've learned over the last 4+ years working with DNN in corporate and noncorporate environments, I've worked on some of the largest DNN implementations out there and hope to be able to share some of my experiences with those projects.

Being selected to present at the first DotNetNuke conference is a great honor. ...

Last week we were able to release the long awaited new release of Engage: Publish with all new bells and whistles.

Engage: Publish is an article management system / workflow engine for your DotNetNuke portal. It provides advanced content management capabilities with workflow - approval, content categorization and related articles. 

With Engage: Publish you’ll never have to worry about clicking the update button in DotNetNuke.  Your content history is safe and sound.  Plus, if you have multiple authors of content, you’ll be secure knowing that the content created by your authors will not be “live” until an administrator approves.  All this plus several different ways ...

When Brian Schwartz left for his Honeymoon last week I know he wasn't expecting to find this when he came back!

We knew Brian was getting back from his honeymoon and coming into the office today, so yesterday we purchased 600 sq/ft of reynolds wrap from Sam's Club. After that we got to work. Throughout the afternoon we spent a few minutes here and there working on the office, wrapping everything that wasn't fastened down. After our company meeting last night three of us stayed late to finish up the office. We wrapped EVERYTHING. We wrapped every book, stack of papers, spare change, the desk, bookshelf, whiteboard, a paperclip, a tie, a pair of pants, the office door and we even layed the last of the foil on the floor to cover the car ...
