Welcome to the eighth issue of DNN Creative Magazine.
In this issue we have created 18 video tutorials!
This issue focuses on CSS from skin design to adding content. It builds on the previous tutorials from issues 5-7.
Following the release of the free pure CSS ‘Simple Red Leaf’ skin we responded to the demand for a CSS skinning tutorial. We have created nine videos which walk you through the process of creating the ‘Simple Red Leaf’ skin. The tutorial demonstrates all of the details from layout to menu design, all created with CSS and no tables.
Continuing the How to build a website series using DotNetNuke® we explore adding content to your website. This includes an eight video tutorial which covers styling your content in the Text/HTML module using CSS and calling those styles from the FCKEditor.
This is a very powerful way of adding and laying out content, minimising code and making advanced techniques easily available to your website administrators without any specialist knowledge required.
In addition to the videos we also explain bad practices to avoid when working with the Text/HTML module.
Rounding off this issue we are privileged to interview Tim O’Brien covering CSS skinning and validation. Tim has made DotNetNuke history creating the first DNN website that completely validates to W3C standards.
