• Fixing The Problem with Niche Communities and Sub-Groups

• The Opposite of Community Server is?

  I had an amazing week in Dallas despite the 112 degree daily heat index. It seriously felt like walking outside was getting into a hot car. Getting into a hot car was more like deciding to stick your head into the oven. Helping out with Planning for Telligent Read More......( read more ) Share Post: Read More...

• How to use the XStandard editor in CS 2007

  Community Server allows users to select what editor they would like to use for writing/editing posts and other things such as ContentParts. This option is available when editing your user profile under the Site Options tab. The first editor choice is a plain text box, and a WYSIWYG HTML editor has always Read More...

• Give Login Focus

  I greatly expanded my knowledge of Community Server and especially CSS by trying my hand at building a custom theme for the Community Server extravaganza last week. While working on my entry [ VoteForMeNow ! Look for OOTO2K7 ], I found a number of things I wanted to do. One of them was to put the window Read More...

• TelliCast Episode #9

  We started recording episodes of TelliCast months before we ever published one. Those episodes were 30 to 45 minutes long and we decided that not even the most die-hard Community Server fans would want to sit and listen, or worse, watch us blather on for 30 minutes. Episode 9 is a cut from a conversation Read More... Posted Monday, August 06, 2007 11:23 AM from Community Server | (Comments Off) Filed under: Community Server, tellicast

• The Gulf Coasting Debut

  Several moons ago I mentioned that I was working on a new site-wide CS 2007 theme using the incredibly flexible Chameleon theming system. Well I vastly underestimated how long it would take someone as design-challenged as myself to create a site-wide theme, but the good news is that v1 is finally complete Read More...
