Currently there are two Connectors in DNN Platform for quickly configuring analytics scripts. One is the original Google Analytics connector.  In its current state, this works for Universal Analytics properties using the latest recommend script placement. The other is the Google Tag Manager connector.  This one is great for those that prefer to manage everything using a Google Tag Manager container.

Hello everyone and welcome to this glorious day, one that marks the beginning of a new DNN era!  I don’t mean to be all dramatic here, but it is indeed an epic day.  We are making the DNN Platform 9.11.0 Release Candidate available for immediate testing.

I remember back in my early school years as a kid how much certain clothing and shoes played a role in social norms and acceptance among peers.  I thought I’d try not to date myself here, but geez, who am I kidding?  You all remember the days of parachute pants, Michael Jackson leather jackets a la Thriller, and of course Air Jordans?  Man, I unashamedly thrived to possess all three!  Bare with me for a moment here while I take a quick walk down memory lane with each of these three highly sought-after items.  ;-)

With Hacktoberfest 2020 underway and some awesome things on the horizon with the .NET Foundation, we decided to make it much easier for you to contribute to the DNN Platform project.  By visiting THIS AWESOME LINK, you can now see a vetted list of issues with the help-wanted label. 

DNN 9.7.0 was slated as the next big release on our roadmap.  Plans included a new Resource Manager for managing digital assets.  While we were still working on the new Resource Manager and marching towards the 9.7.0 release, we received a nice mix of bug fixes and new features as pull requests.  And since we were aiming for a minor release, we did not separate bug fixes from new features. 

Well...it has been three weeks of pretty steady work, but I have finally managed to get ALL issues on GitHub added to the Issue Triage project.

DNN Platform Issue Management - is that really a thing?  Well...I am glad you asked.  It has been "a thing" but now it is much more "a thing"!  Go ahead, click through...you know you want to!

These are super exciting times in the DNN Community and so many great things are going on!  One area that is close to my heart and gets my juices flowing is the recent reorganization/formation of the DNN Leadership Team.  I'll speak more to that in a bit, but first I want to highlight some of our journey over the past two years...   

What the heck is Git and GitHub and how do I use them?  There are so many open-source projects out there that I'd love to get involved in, but I don't have a clue how to Git what I need!  Can you help?!?!?  I have tried, but I have done nothing but embarrass myself and mess things up for others.

Today we launched the new DNN Summit website!!! 

The look and feel changed slightly but the site is still very much in line with the DNN Summit brand.  The beauty, though, is honestly "under the hood".
