I just wanted to say thank you to all the people in charge of DotnetNuke for giving us such a great product, and creating an awesome community.  Thanks to the communitiy also!

I've spent about the last year, playing with DotNetNuke, in my spare time, as I do have a normal job not related to dotnetnuke or web design :->.  Thanks to all your help, I've managed to create my first fully functional website for an actual customer of my own! :->.  Well, I've made like 4 now, but this one I'm proud of.  Check out the results http://www.oasisdayspa.com <--- this is not a shameless plug, just shameless bragging :->.

Anyhow I wouldnt' have even been able to come close without a tool like DotNetNuke, and help from people in the community.  I can't tell you how many books I've read on ASP.NET, C#, SQL, and who knows what else, but nothing ever brought all the consepts togather like DNN.  I still have ALOT more to learn, but I now have confidence :->

THANKS!

Josh

Josh:

Congratulations, the site looks really nice!!!

It is interesting to note, based on what you said, that you don't work in Web design, etc. that you had such a good experience and great outcome in the form of a fully functional and nice looking site.  There are many newcomers to DNN, specially those with some knowledge of other technologies, that have a hard time getting started and getting things to work, but you know what they say about the sorcerer apprentice and a little knowledge.

I would like to ask you to do two things if I may.  1. Participate in the community helping others getting started with DNN and 2. Share your experience and lessons learned, things that worked great, rough spots and the solutions/workarounds, etc.  Oh, and don't forget to mention who is your hosting provider, that is a big factor in having a successful and smooth rollout.

One more thing, you may want to consider a "Keep alive" service for your site, in that way you eliminate the delay that takes place when the site is not hit for a while and DNN needs to be reloaded.  Are you familiar with this?
