Chapter 9: Enhancing Your Portal
Up until now in the book, we have had to work alone when creating custom modules and skins and diving deeply into the core of DotNetNuke. But what if you do not have either the time or expertise to make these modifications yourself? Not to worry; DotNetNuke has a very large open-source community, and there are many free custom modules out there that can give your portal not only the look you are searching for but also the custom functionality that will separate your portal from the rest. The trick is to be able to find the resources that are spread out across the Web. This chapter will:

• Introduce you to free "must-have" modules

• Tell you where and how to find modules on the Internet

• Tell you about sites that offer modules for a price
