May 2006

Welcome to the ninth issue of DNN Creative Magazine.

This issue continues the development of CSS, from skin design to adding content and builds on the previous tutorials in issue 8.

Within the How to build a website series using DotNetNuke®, we continue adding content to the website. This looks at basic techniques through to advanced powerful styling options using the FCKEditor and CSS.

Following the CSS skinning tutorials, this month we explore how to create pure CSS containers. Alongside this we have also released an updated version of the free ‘Simple Red Leaf’ CSS skin, which is completely valid to W3C standards.

We also uncover the SolPartMenu and provide some quick tips for setting up the menu with your skins.

Finally, for all of the beginners to DotNetNuke, we have updated, expanded and improved the content of the free DotNetNuke Quick Start Guide.

This issue comes complete with 16 video tutorials.

The CSS container and styling  techniques outlined here are compatible with both tables and CSS based skins.

Check out the introduction videos below.
