Day Two of DotNetNuke World 2011 Convention is now in the books. There were two keynote addresses today, which I thought was a bit odd calling them keynote addresses as there was one already at the beginning of the show as where the key note is supposed to be. These could have been called special speaker sessions or guest speaker or something other than Key Note.

CMS, regularly known as content management system, has been redefined to be cloud, mobile, social. Shaun Walker made the new definition at his keynote address and it was carried out in the classes for the rest of the day. 

Jim and I attended as many classes as we could and even though there were three of them and two of us for each time slot, we certainly felt we learned a great deal. Here are some highlights.

So today was the first conference day for DotNetNuke World 2011. There were lots of sessions that both Don and I attended. Our strategy was to attend different sessions to try and get as most out of the show as possible. The sessions that I attended were as follows:

Originally published 11/9 8:27a. Updated 9:30p. : When I was 12, my folks took me out of school in January and we drove from cold Chicago to warm Orlando to visit the newly opened Disney World (it was just Magic Kingdom back then). We stopped our day's driving just inside Florida's northern border, and I asked for a motel with a swimming pool. It was the outdoor type and it was 55 degrees out in Lake City, but hey, it was Florida, and well, "When in Rome...". Now fast forward 40 years.

The conference hasn't started, and already we've had very good talks with Arrow Consulting, Creativa Consultants, and the Spiffy Web Team. We're looking for .Net developers for two big projects, and of course we thought of our friends and colleagues in the #DNNWorld, since they are some of the best .Net developers.

I just wanted to take a couple of minutes to point to the excellent graphics & artwork around the show that I noticed today. When Don and I were part of the team that put on the Day of DotNetNuke in Chicago last year, we know first hand all the moving parts that have to be completed and then double checked to ensure that everything is just perfect when everyone arrives. Graphics & artwork are important and when done right go mostly unnoticed, when done wrong they stand out like a sore thumb. This years graphics & artwork look great and should be recognized. Here are a few great examples that I took today.

A couple of months ago Don and I were making our travel arrangements to get to #DNNWorld in Orlando, FL. Since he is in Chicago and I am in Bakersfield it takes a bit of coordinating to get a travel schedule in sync. For me it was a rather normal day of travel steps to get to Orlando. I hopped a USAirways plane in Bakersfield heading to Phoenix and then after a short layover...

Yes, the Christmas displays at the mall were set up already weeks ago, but now that Halloween is officially behind us the holiday shopping season begins in earnest.

The Internet can help your business rack up new sales. And it can rob you of sales, too. Are you doing what you can to attract new customers while keeping the old?

In honor of the Halloween season, we'd like to share some terrifying tales that happened to some perfectly ordinary business owners before they became our clients. Like any good horror story, the scariest part is that you've heard about frightening events like these happening to people you know. In fact, these horrible things could happen to you!

So turn down the brightness button on your monitor, huddle up with your marketing manager, and prepare to be terrified!
