As the day of OpenForce event getting close, you probably have heard many people talking about the event from e-mail, blogs, user group meetings and so on. I have decided to join this flow of information to offer some content about my sessions in detail of what they're all about.

As I mentioned in my blog a few weeks back, this year at OpenForce, I will present two sessions targeting both developers and designers with the following topics:

• DotNetNuke and Web Standards
• DotNetNuke Designers and Developers: Bridging the Gap

Last week I did some DotNetNuke skinning training courses for a few clients from out of town here in our St. Louis facility. It was interesting to see many scenarios that made you scratch your head and say… I don’t know it allows you to do that.

One particular situation that my client has is that she has an external employee time tracking system that requires them to enter their billable time. Because they don’t use it that frequently, she likes to put it on the top navigation so everybody can see and allow it to open a new window to that page.

I've installed a lot of DNN sites in the last couple of years, but this task just got even easier!

With the new skinning changes in DotNetNuke, it may be helpful to give an overview of available approaches to skin developers.
