DotNetNuke 5.1.3 Released

So DotNetNuke 5.1.3 was just released, I’ve already upgraded two of my sites without trouble and will be upgrading more of them here in a few minutes. This appears to be a simple stability release fixing some of the bugs in the previous release(s).

Post Conference Workshop

Once again Cuong Dang (my coworker) and I will be teaching a post OpenForce workshop there in Las Vegas. This year’s workshop is “Build a custom DotNetNuke site in 1 day” in which we will break the class up into groups, designers and developers, each group implementing specific items in the morning, coming back together in the afternoon to put it all together. Last year’s workshop was a great success and we hope to have an even better time this year! For more info check out our Workshop page.
