Hello all,
Well this is will be a very brief post to let you know that I have released update 0.9.9 of my Creative Website Wizard Package for Umbraco.

This release is identical as 0.9.8 which is currently in the umbraco package repository, except this version will ONLY work for Umbraco V4.

In addition to this package file and previous versions are now stored on Codeplex. This has been done as I build a new version of the package for V4 (new design, amendments etc..) You will be able to download the source and modify it to your needs.

As before if you find any MAJOR problems please let me know.

Download Creative Website Wizard version 0.9.9

Thanks,
Warren

Hello all,
Well this is a quick blog post to let you know I have made a minor path update to the Creative Website package, which creates the Assets folder in the “Data” folder located at the Root as opposed to having the “Assets” folder in the root because of people reporting permission issues with this and the JS folder has been moved to the NEW “Scripts” folder in V3 of umbraco.

Well once I am more settled I plan to look at the Umbraco forums and keep up with all the blog posts - but this will now be out of office hours because my current position does not use Umbraco at the new company where I work.

Hello all,
I have updated the package from Douglas Robar’s feedback with XSLT Search 2.0 not being configured correctly.

With this update I would like to annouce that this package is now live in the NEW v3 umbraco repository. So you can download this website package right inside umbraco.

Keep your eyes peeled - as plans are for a Website Package with a CSS Switcher and theme gallery.

Hello all,
This post will be brief and to the point. I have updated the Creative Website Wizard for umbraco with a minor update.

This update includes Douglas Robar’s XSLT Search version 2.0 which now works with umbraco V3- “hurrah I hear you cry!”

Hello all,
After getting back from NY and settling back in, I have read all of your comments in regards to my website package I have released a fix to the XSLT search people are having and I have updated the XHTML and CSS so that the logo goes to the homepage as suggested by Lars Buur.

I am not sure if this work by reinstalling the package over the top - it is unlikely, but please do let me know.
