DotNetTorque Content and Webmaster needed
by Vince Gee · 04/02/2012 (9:35 am) · 10 comments
So here we are approaching our betas and I realized that since all of us have been buried in source code/testing and our website really has been lacking.
In a perfect world we would have a several people doing the website. Atlas, this is not a perfect world...
So, if anyone is interested in having direct access to the developers and to the beta, and would like to help us flesh out our website, please contact Paul or me. Right now, all I can offer is full access to DotNetTorque and the Updater for payment of services. Once again, it would be a position that will become paid once we start generating revenue.
We use DotNetNuke for our website engine, so a little knowledge of how it works would probably be best. The most important trait our webmaster and content generator would need to have is, a passion for MMO's and related technology
Understand html, flash etc., would also be important as well. We have a lot of ideas for what we want to do, but we realize that our time is limited.
So, if you always wanted to be part of a MMO project but only know HTML and such, or if you just want to hang out on mumble with some cool guys and do some html here and there. Shoot Paul an email.

Yeah, someone with an understanding of C# and Torque as well would be nice. We are looking for someone to "own" the website and grow the community.Vince

Just sent Paul an e-mail. While I probably can't give the website the full attention it needs, I'd like to help the new web master since I'm helping out with some of the other stuff going on. ;)

@Philip - i plans for you and the web site, dont worry about that! But we still need a webmaster (along with C# and C++ coders, but thats another blog/job forum post)

Okay.. Back to work (or getting ready to watch the Kentucky game in today's case).

Looks really simple to use - Will look at personalizing the look over the weekend - as well as creating new modules and stuff like that - seems straight forward.
And i see from your site you are basicly using the default website as a template with little change.
Am willing to help - but like i said just found out about this from you. So am no DotNetNuke Guru. I do have some experience in c# (have been mostly working with it for a year or so) and i learn fast.
So if you are willing to accept some remote assistence with the website (can't move there anytime soon - would love to though) at least until you get someone more knowledgeable of the framework, let me know

DotNetNuke is fairly simple to use, I've been doing all of the web work for WinterLeaf since I came on board a while back. I've taken it from straight HTML & CSS, to Joomla to Drupal, and now DotNetNuke. DotNetNuke has been by far the most complete and easiest to use of any free CMS I have tested. It is shrouded in secrecy due to the fact that it requires a windows server, which compared to PHP based CMS's, is vastly more expensive to play around with. It is also not as cheap to get the modules that you will need, as free modules for DotNetNuke are fairly non existant.
That is something else I have learned, in regards to me using the standard DotNetNuke theme on the site for now. It takes too much time to craft custom skins for CMS frameworks, only to find out that certain framework limitations are deal breakers and you have to start over.
A lot of CMS SEO happens in skin/theme development. So whomever is interested will need to understand that and have enough interest to be willing to learn how that all comes into play.

I never said otherwise - in fact that's what i mentioned i will be trying my hand at over the weekend.
A good starting point for it seems to be the 71 page long DotNetNuke Skinning Guide.
If i look a bit harder online, i might even find some better materrial (that's from a quick google search i did just now)
I will let you know wether i manage to figure it out or not.
The secret to develop a skin/theme for a cms is a) have it clear in your mind the general idea of the skin/theme (color scheme, etc), b) I did say 'general idea' right? always leave room for flexibility (Don't have too strct a design that can't evolve) and finally c) take it one step at a time (or in other words, skin one module at a time while keeping consistency amongst them).
Easy? no, but doable given time and effort

I directed that at you, but it was more of just a general statement, I was reaffirming your statement for the most part.
Keep me updated on your progress of your research with all of this. My email is in my profile, as I won't be frequenting this blog much due to moving this weekend.
