DotNetNuke IT History

I began my IT career in 1999 when I co-founded a web development company with my husband and fellow DotNetNuker Philip Beadle. After discovering the fledgling IBuySpy Portal application (which later evolved to become DotNetNuke) we refocused our company to work exclusively in the DotNetNuke space. The success of this stategy lead to our company being sold in 2005.

In 2002 I produced a DotNetNuke Help Manual for my clients and following interest from the DotNetNuke community I published the manual in a bid to expose DotNetNuke to a wider audience.

The DotNetNuke User Manual has since evolved from a brief 50 page document to an in depth manual totalling nearly 1000 pages. This documentation is viewable online at DNN Online Help (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/About/DotNetNukeOnlineHelp/tabid/787/Default.aspx).

Since 2008 I have been working directly for DNN Corp providing documentation services, as well as DNN site maintenance for a small group of clients.

Location

Education

  • Bachelor of Arts in Professional Writing and Literature

The DotNetNuke Administrator's Manual is perfect for my clients! - Monday, October 13, 2008

"The DotNetNuke Administrator's Manual is perfect for my clients who want to edit their own content and take charge of their own sites. This will help them remember what we show them and greatly reduce the support calls because now they can simply 'look it up'. The time it will save me and our staff will be huge.
Thank you, Lorraine."
