I thought you might like to know a little bit about this website. Upon our return from Dayton, I wanted to post the story of this year's trip. Building a new website is something that's been on my mind for quite some time, so I decided this would be the time to do it.
A few months ago, I moved my company's website www.designet.com to a new server, running under an open source content management system called dotnetnuke [DNN]. DNN runs on a Windows Server with an MS SQL Server database. This server is a machine running right here in the K1IR shack. It's been pretty reliable since I put it into service.
DNN has the ability to support multiple websites on the same IP address; a very cool feature. So, I added www.k1ir.com to the system and started populating it with content. I hope to flesh it out slowly, but surely, over the summer. DNN is a modular environment. When you want to add a particular type of content, you pop a new function module on the page. Through a series of settings you can control where each module appears on the page, what it looks like and how it operates. This blog is being delivered via one of these DNN modules.
