Happy New Year everyone. I think it would be obvious to say that 2010 is going to be a year of big things for South Africa with the Fifa World Cup just around the corner now. I think it also means big things on a personal level. While I find the official...

I understand the need to express oneself in an effort to better ones lot in life. And in most cases the workforce is often the last to benefit from national opportunities and more often the first to feel inflation. But I have to ask where were COSATU...

I use Dotnetnuke for every website I do, including my own. Dotnetnuke or DNN is a Content (or Web) Management System that ships with some powerful core modules including the blog module. While there are some pretty impressive blogging systems out there...

Brian’s comment on my blog was almost prophetic. The first notebook arrived from PCMall and within a few hours of finishing the setup I realised that the combination of right-shift and “i” or “o” did not work. All other key combinations seemed to work...

I love technology! Okay wait let me rephrase that. I love technology, when it works! Writing and publishing my first blog via Windows Live Writer and Dotnetnuke, was easy. It literally took seconds, so I am very excited. Next i wanted to try one or two...

I have not really taken much time to play around with the core blog module on Dotnetnuke. That is until now of course. I have had requests from customers who wish to blog via their DNN sites, but it needed to be easy. I thought the best way for me to get to grips with this would be to start my own blog. I added the blog module and created the page, and while doing this I also downloaded and installed Windows Live Writer. I knew it should work with the blog module, and I needed to check it out.
