There has been a lot of talk in recent weeks about TLS compliance requirements. There’s good reason for this, because
notable vendors that are known for being on the forefront of security such as Authorize.net, PayPal, and UPS began
notifying their partners and vendors about two years ago. Everyone else began receiving similar notifications
about a year ago. What does this all mean though?

Google Analytics is often taken-for-granted in too many ways. When the average company thinks about Google Analytics,
they simply ensure their Google Analytics code is in place and they keep track of what I refer to as vanity metrics.
Copy. Paste. Done, right? Vanity metrics are quite deceiving, to be honest, and you’re only scratching the surface
with what you could (and probably should) be doing with Google Analytics. In this article, we’re going to discuss
how to dive deeper into your Google Analytics integration to grow your business.

DNN Summit has a long history. It’s grown a lot since 2009, when I first founded the Day of DotNetNuke conference.
Back then, I used to speak at pretty much every user group and conference I could get to. I love public speaking.
I love helping people learn something new – or better – helping inspire people to try something they may have never
before considered. I took about 2 years off from speaking, and now… I’m back! I’ll be speaking at DNN
Summit!

The Hotcakes Commerce community was recently restored a few months ago when version 3.0 was released. This was
welcomed with a lot of enthusiasm since our community was once very large and strong. There was a bit of gamification
in the previous community, and we wanted to ensure that we still had that kind of experience with the new one.
This article will help you get to know a bit more about the new community features that give you rewards.

Configuring your Google Analytics in previous versions of DNN was super simple. You would just navigate to the
Google Analytics page and paste in your Google Analytics tracking ID. Since DNN 9 was released, some of the
administration that was easily accessible is yet to be added back to the administration area. This article
will help you to enable and update Google Analytics to use the most current version, universal analytics. This
is important since the default version of Google Analytics is using DoubleClick. You can blame me for that
since I submitted that pull request, but it was the current at the time…
