Dotnetnuke
skins, containers and web design blog - by Rick Beddie
Welcome
to the first rhoek.com newsletter, and thank you for subscribing
to my site.
In brief this monthly newsletter will contain new dotnetnuke
skins and container releases from me, updates to the site
which I think are important and snippets of news. In essence
this is my way of saying hello once a month and letting you
know what's been happening in my neck of the woods.
So..
who & what is rhoek.com?
As
this is the first newsletter it's a good opportunity for me
to introduce myself, the site and what it's all about. My
name is Rick Beddie, I'm a web designer living in Scotland
and working for an online marketing company as one of their
web designers (for anyone interested I design and build websites,
emails, and landing pages using flash, X/HTML, CSS, XML, XSLT,
Web standards, SEO and semantic code to enhance their ranking
on search engines. I love design and most enjoy work when
I get to do anything creative or more importantly -
flash based).
I
was introduced to Dotnetnuke
a few years ago through a company I worked for at the time,
and can boast of having used version 1, and pretty much every
version since then. My main interest in the framework is the
design and build of skins and containers, and I've previously
spent time, while between jobs, freelancing on custom skin
work as well as continually designing and releasing my own
template skins. The reason this is my main focus is because
as a designer I like to be able to create great designs, but
not have to worry too much about the functionality and the
coding of it. With DNN this is what I can do, put most of
my time into the design and in the end come away with a superbly
functional portal, and It's also a great framework to sell
skins for.
So..
the website then, is my online space for blogging,
experimenting with design stuff and DNN
skins, and generally having some fun with.
So
there it is, the first rhoek.com newsletter. Once again thanks
for registering and I hope you find the site, content, and
this newsletter worthwhile.
Rick.

Site
News
For
anyone that's been visiting rhoek.com regularly, or subscribing
to the rss
feed for the blog, you'll notice that I've been working
on adding content to the site and laying out new releases
for skins and containers. Recently I removed everything from
the site, including all the skin packs and started from fresh.
(In truth I was messing about with the hosting and managed
to wipe everything, so I took this as an opportunity to think
fresh). As a result the site has a new skin (which I'll
be updating the design for in the new year), more useful content,
skins and containers, and less junk.
The
short term plan for the site is to keep updating it with regards
to design
resources, template
skins, blog
entries and experiments. In the long term however, I'd
like to see how far the site and the skins/container designs
can go. I've seen companies emerging that specialise in nothing
other than DNN design, so you never know... At the end of
the day web design is all about having fun, and letting the
design do its thing.
In
future newsletters I'll be showing the new skins that have
been released for the month, as this is the first of many,
I've decided to show all the template skins and containers
in my portfolio.
