DNN Core Staff Update

Longtime readers may have noticed recent changes to DNN's core crew complement in recent months.

We're moving!

Five years after DNN moved from hosting at WordPress.com to a virtual private server at Linode.com, this month we're making another big move up.

Each day this week, we're gearing up for our 5th Anniversary celebration by bringing you our first-person recollections of a year from DNN's history. Before reading this chapter, you might want to start with Justice Feelgood Marshall's take on our birth year, 2007.

DNN Retrospective, 2007: Genesis

For 5 years, we have generally assiduously avoided using first-person in DNN articles. There are plenty of derby sites with a viewpoint out there and we've always tried to nurture a reputation for detached objectivity; DNN has never been a personal blog or an opinion site (yes, yes, Power Rankings aside).
