New Artisteer Skin Exporter

In case you haven't followed our blog, soon after the release of mojoPortal 2.3.9.0, we made a small patch to that release to support Artisteer 4 Beta and we released a new plugin that enables you to easily export a mojoPortal skin directly from Artisteer 4 Beta.

The mojoPortal skin exporter for Artisteer 4 is currently available for free in the mojoPortal store. Related links:

Creating mojoPortal skins with Artisteer has never been easier. We will follow up with a minor update of the skin exporter once the final version of Artisteer 4 ships.

Embracing Designers

For those who design from scratch we've also launched a new project to get more designers involved in producing modern html 5 skins to share with the mojoPortal community.

Our good friends over at i7MEDIA have already contributed their first skin Swift Blue to the project.

Other community members have also started the mojomo project for skinning mojoPortal. It is great to see more designers getting involved and sharing their design skills with the rest of the community!

Arvixe Web Hosting is our top financial contributor to the mojoPortal project. They provide us with a dedicated server for running our site, a very generous affiliate program only available to open source projects, and they also sponsor members of our community as liaisons to help out in general in our forums and especially to help out if anyone has problems with their hosting at Arvixe. If you click one of our Arvixe ads and then purchase hosting and keep it for at least 60 days we get a very generous contribution from Arvixe no matter how low the hosting cost is to you. We think Arvixe is one of the best large shared hosting providers around. If you need hosting click one of our ads and give them a try, by doing so you will also be helping the mojoPortal project.

Carole Bennett of Indigo Tea and Ian McIntosh are our current Arvixe Commiunity Liaisons. Both of them have been writing a lot of great blog posts with good tutorials and tips for mojoPortal on the Arvixe Blog and we are maintaining a list of them here.

For those who would rather have someone else handle all the technical details of their hosting including installation, configuration, and upgrades of mojoPortal, we recommend i7MEDIA. You can let them handle all the technical details so you can focus on your site content. Joe Davis of i7MEDIA is our Community Manager, an expert in all things mojo and an all around helpful guy that you can count on.

We are continually trying to learn from our newsletter process, if any of you notice this message landing in your spam folder please do let me know.

Warm Regards,

Joe Audette
