I'm still working with CS offline on my home office network and will announce when my dbvt.com site has been migrated from its current design of DotNetNuke 2.1.2, nGallery 1.6.1, and dotText 0.95 to CS 1.0. I used Kevin Harder's dotText-to-CS migration to... [More]

I have decided to move to Community Server.  It's time.  I 've worked a lot with dotText and think its a fantastic app, but there is no question that for me, moving to CS is the right decision.  Why?  Because a smarter guy than me who ... [More]

Time to reflect back on the good and could-be-better aspects of my Customizing dotText presentation at Code Camp 3. First of all, thank you to those who attended the session. You were great! Please ping me here or use my contact form if you want to provid... [More]

It was interesting in my Community Server testing in Firefox and FreeTextBox 3.0 that I STILL cannot enter a friggen' URL in FreeTextBox 3 using Firefox.  So anyone who is migrating to CS hoping to fix the FTB3 firefox bugs need not bother. J

The dotText Nerd community is glued to the Telligent CS Announcements forum, waiting for the release of the CS 1.0 source.  We're close, as Rob announced the binaries at 10:45 PM last night, some 11 hours ago.  "We'll probably push the source ou... [More]
