I will add, although perhaps a totally different issue, it took about 1 minute from when I hit submit for that last post until it 'took.' For me and my clients working on sites this is a continuing frsutration - are there any insights on "admin speed?"

thanks,

Will

most of the menus available are faster and more XHTML compliant than old SolPart, you could try DNNMenu (included in DNN installation), HouseMenu or any commercial menu around, check out the Marketplace and Snowcovered. Since I am no Skinner, I can hardly recommend one.

Hi John

You ask:

What threw me was that I followed the link on your post which took me to a store page where you are asking people to click a Buy Now link and go through a Shopping Cart and Checkout process to download software that costs $0.  If you come in at this point, as I did, it's not clear the Community Edition really means free and the Terms and Conditions you ask me to read through don't help (the explanation is in your download which you get to later). Then I got to a screen with a license code and a download link. When I clicked the download link it wasn't working. So I began to wonder if I should have added some money (it asks me to pay whatever I think) and, if so, how time-limited or hobbled the Community Edition would be. Remember, I am a bit nervous about installing something as radical as Page Blaster on a remotely-hosted machine. I don't know yet quite how it works. So I concluded that if the documentation is no more coherent than the buying process I wouldn't risk it.

Sorry John but that's what went through my mind. I just tried it again and this time the download worked. I have just looked in the documentation that came in the download and, frankly, descriptions of what to do if you get this or that error (though essential) don't inspire me to risk messing up a working site and consider giving it a try.

I will try Page Blaster on a less critical site when I have more time. I hope you take this in the spirit intended. Constructive criticism between friends is the sincerest kindness.

Kind regards

Geoffrey
