I work for the DotNetNuke Corporation. I am a self-proclaimed DotNetNuke Evangelist, but I also use it daily. In the DNN world, I am a programmer, DBA, architect, business analyst, speaker, tutorial writer, administrator, and just overall a DNN junkie... Therefore, you may see a few posts here that are not DNN or .Net related, but for the most part it will be all DNN all day - every day! Every day is DotNetNuke day!

For quite a long time now, I wasn't receiving the DotNetNuke® newsletter. I also was not able to find a way to sign up for it on the DotNetNuke® web site. Here is how to get yourself back on the DotNetNuke® mailing list.

I very often end up speaking to people about how much proper string handling, concatenation, and evaluation can increase the performance of a web site or application. So I decided to write a guide about it...

I see a question in the DotNetNuke® (DNN) forums a lot. It is often phrased something like "I deleted my login page. How can I login now?" Here is how you can get to your login page even when the Account Login module is not on the page, or the login page you specified in Site Settings is not accessible.
