 I've been meaning to write this post since Sunday evening, but things just kept getting in my way. This past weekend (10/16 – 10/18) I had the privilege to volunteer at Coders for Charities (C4C). Like I said in a previous post, I viewed this as an opportunity to use some skills and experience that I have built up over time to a community that has given me loads in return.

C4C (at least the way it was set up this year) was a 72 hour event where the geeks of St. Louis got together and cranked out some code for much deserving charities. This year, the majority of the participating charities needed website work. As a matter of fact, the majority of the site work was done using either SiteFinity and DotNetNuke.

So very recently, I redesigned my site, which I now like, but will probably change it again in two months (it's my site thank you very much).  When I redesigned my site, I left off the syndication button, which was the primary way to subscribe to my blog.  This caused someone to reach out to me because they could not subscribe.

My site is powered by DotNetNuke, and I love this application/platform.  It's flexible, (depending on what's installed) it's light, and it's easy to use (once you get used to a few things).  One of the very few things that has irked me about DotNetNuke though, is if you syndicate a module (like a blog) the browser doesn't pick up on it.  The majority of all the browsers now support Live Bookmarks, and the little RSS icon is one of the first things I look for when I come across a new feed.
