DNN 3.0.8 - The WOW Factor
I'm already very impressed. I downloaded and installed DNN 3.0.8 and then installed one of the competition winning skins, the BLUE theme and was immediately presented with a graphical set of layout options dealing with menu alignments (horizontal and vertical) for the skins and another set of options for the containers. The Preview and Apply options worked flawlessly too and the site I built on my laptop looks really amazing. Its very close to the kind of thing I was looking to build earlier and I've got some ideas on how I can extend and customise it to get exactly what I want. The ASP.NET forums have a good post on "dogfooding" the DNN main site and the lessons learned, issues and workarounds.
I also found an interesting DNN developer site with some nice skins to download and information on module development. Coupled with the other site which has training videos, Im more excited than I have been in a very long time.
