Hi - I'm new to DNN and have inherited a DNN site, to maintain and add features to.

I'm looking forward to digging in to DNN!

Cheers, Rich

Welcome, RIch!

Asking lots of questions is the best way to get help.

Don't forget to tell us which version of DNN you are using.

A good first project, but maybe too big, might be getting it updated to the latest version of DNN.

Welcome Rich!

Good sources to get familiar are the Official DNN Platform Documentation -- DNN Docs (dnncommunity.org). You also find lots of videos on YouTube, and also the Blogs on this site can be helpful.

Happy DNNing!
Michael

Welcome!

Lots of friendly people here willing to help.

And...maybe the best tip: schedule your trip to Millau for DNN-Connect June 30th- July3rd
Many sessions for beginners up to pro. All against a picturesque background of the French country side, gourmet cuisine and if interested, there might be 1 or 2 beers.

a bit like the old days: meeting people offline :-)
