Fresh New Skin

Vasilis surprised me with a new skin this morning! When I started blogging seriously a year and a half ago, he took it upon himself to “refresh” seablick.com every 6 months or so and that’s just what he has done.

This latest effort focuses mainly on accessibility improvements, but since nothing much goes on around here without SEO in mind, the bot food has been spiced up as well. Vasilis is inundated with work at the moment, but hopefully I’ll get him to give up some of his “skinning secrets” in an upcoming blog post. Now onto this week’s news.

Cuong Dang collects a list of DNN skinning resources for beginners and gives his pros and cons on each. If you know of a resource that is worth listing, leave Cuong a comment.
Mitchel Sellers continues his saga of DNN installation and upgrade tutorials with a new chapter on migrating DotNetNuke from development to remote production. A faq well answered.
Ernst Peter Tamminga keeps us abreast of the long awaited update to the core Events module, but needs your help with beta testing.
I just stumbled apon a well-written (mostly) DNN blog in German maintained by Daniel Müller. There is no better reason to give your high school-German another shot, right?
SEO for developers was a recent topic here on my blog. Now there is a great SEO guide for designers as well.

That wraps it up for this week. Thanks again to Vasilis of thinkofdesign.com for developing a fresh new look for this blog and thanks to you, IE6, Safari, and Opera users, for reporting anything out of whack :)-
