Correction of one of my old posts

How to learn where your users click

Implementing a more clear menu, like I did the other day, and do other changes to you blog, might be of no meaning at all if you're not aware of how/if they are used. Assuming your blog is for you readers, and not just a personal journal for yourself, you'd want to know if the features you add to you... Read More...

Go directly to site admin and skip the dashboard

This might be a small thing for most people, but I find it somewhat irritating to end up at the dashboard each time I want to go to the Site Administration. I click the Control Panel button, and the Dashboard appears, and I always click on Administration right away to go to the Site Administration. Dashboard... Read More...

Changing order of your forums

This is an old question I've seen asked many times, all the way back to the ASP .NET Forums time. At that time you had to manually go into the SQL Database and change the values of the SortOrder field.

Deleting Auto-Deleted Spam comments

The last week, many of us have seen a large increase of spam comments sent to our Community Server blogs. That has given us the opportunity to learn how CS Spam rules work, and to see what a great job they do if configured correctly.

Add/Remove buttons from the Paperclip Theme

If you run your blog at the root as I do, you might want to get better use of the toolbar of the blog. In my case I use a modified version of the Paperclip theme. As you can see in the picture above, I have modified the toolbar by adding 2 buttons (Media and Downloads). Since I use feedburner as RSS... Read More...

Screencast: CS Reports in Excel 2007

Ok, I'll admit it! What I am going to show you in today's screencast, works well in earlier versions of Excel as well. But the title looks more cool if I write Excel 2007. And that's what I am using in the screencast as well. The topic is admin reports. Although I believe Telligent has done... Read More...
