People have to be emotionally attached to the site. “It could be your picture or your style of talking or the content itself.”  Users should feel they’re the right user for the product. One final takeaway, “Formulate...
  • All New Sueetie Content Part Control

    I rewrote the Sueetie Content Part Control from the ground up over the weekend, something I wanted to do for a long time.  Some of us on the Sueetie Forums have been talking CMS and I knew that the first step in forming some sort of CMS functionality in Sueetie was to build a more robust Content Part Control for inline page editing.  The new Content Part will be part of the Sueetie Version 1.4 release planned for October. The Sueetie Content Part Control was one of the first Sueetie controls...

  • Inland Empire .NET User Group 8-Year Celebration

    Recently I attended the annual Most-Valuable-Member celebration at the Inland Empire .NET Developer User Group in San Bernardino.  It is such a pleasure to participate in this UG, most especially at this event, so I’ll describe it in more detail here. What makes a great User Group? A big part of my job is to support the local developer User Groups.  To do that I attend and speak at a large number of these groups.  Because of this I get a unique perspective about what is working in...
  • Sueetie Going Mobile Series: BlogEngine.NET

    This is the second post in the Sueetie Going Mobile Series describing how it was possible to create a mobile version of the Sueetie Online Community and its applications.

The original source of this post is located in the Sueetie Wiki Patterns and Origins area. _______________ BlogEngine.NET...

  • BarCamp San Diego 7

    I spent last weekend at BarCamp San Diego (hereafter noted as #BCSD7 – it’s Twitter hashtag).  What’s a BarCamp , you ask?  Well, read on… What’s BarCamp? BarCamp is a community-led unConference for geeks.  It usually runs over a weekend.  Registration is required (to calculate space and food needs) but most often the cost to attend is very small, or even free.  BarCamp consists of short presentations (usually under an hour) and other activities.  For #BCSD7 sessions...
  • Sueetie: The World’s First Mobile Online Community

    I don’t actually know if Sueetie is the world’s first mobile online community or not, but it makes for a good headline.  If you know of other online community applications that are fully mobile-enabled like Sueetie now is, please tell me what they are. When I went mobile with DBVT.COM you knew a mobile version of Sueetie.com was coming. As I said in the DBVT.COM mobile announcement, I started with my personal DBVT site because it had less moving parts. Sueetie had membership functions, a forum...

  • Everyman on Your Own Race, Tell Me A Story, Content Anticipation, MenuPad

    Your Own Race. An Illuminated Mind post on lessons learned from one year of self employment. “Effectiveness is the name of the game when you’re self employed.” I couldn’t agree more. Quality is a given, but productivity is Job #1.  There’s too much to learn, too many technological opportunities to pursue. And on getting there from here, “we’re all running our own race. You can have a great product launch for you , and feel great about it, then get swept away in self-pity and envy when someone...
  • Gus

    It’s been over a year since I lost Murphy and while I still think about him almost every day it’s time to move on. Welcome Gus, a goofy puppy who started life in a Kentucky Kill Shelter and found his way to Burlington, Vermont.  We adopted him through Peaceable Kingdom Animal Rescue in New York, a program I can’t say enough good things about. We’re told Gus is part Border Collie, Labrador and Springer Spaniel. He’s smart, loving, laid-back and a great addition to the family. One thing about...

  • DBVT.COM has gone mobile! (with a little help from Sueetie)

    DBVT.COM is now mobile-enabled. The home page, the blog, the photo gallery, the whole damn thing…with a little help from the Sueetie Framework. I knew Sueetie needed to have mobile support—to what extent I don’t yet know, but I decided to begin the process by going mobile with dbvt.com for the sole reason that there are less moving parts here. Ruslan Tur and BlogEngine.NET Leading the Way The Sueetie Mobile Architecture supports multi-platform access on the same urls. No “mobile.dbvt.com” or anything...
