Oliver Hine: The DotNetNuke Surgeon
Lately I've been releasing a few additional free modules & providers for DotNetNuke platform. A few of these additions are a Flickr / Picasa Photo Gallery,Keyword Editor, File Uploader, Site Log replacement module, the originalWeather Module for DotNetNuke which is mentioned in the DotNetNuke for Dummies book, and most recently the Advanced Control Panel Suite and my Enhanced Permissions Provider which enables the Advanced Content Workflow features of the core Text/HTML module. I also created the Telerik Editor Provider for DNN and as a result I was awarded MVP status with Telerik.
I enjoy hacking DotNetNuke in my sleep, and creating free extensions for the whole community to benefit from. I'm available for hire for any DotNetNuke related project, whether you need rapid support issue resolution, or just a sounding board for your ideas you can contact me with any issue, question or statement.

Testimonials via LinkedIn
“Gifford is one of the most unusual people I've met in technology -- in a good way. Here is a guy who grew up a Nova Scotia lobsterman (he's shared lobster recipes with me) and was educated as a minister...and without shedding either of those identities built a serious tech company about as far geographically from Silicon Valley as you can get. He's won the attention of Microsoft and the U.S. Military. And he's always been willing to share his expertise with me. All in all, Giff is a great story.” June 10, 2011 ~Kevin Maney, Columnist, Tech Columnist, Tech Writer, Cover Stories Editor, USA TODAY
“Gifford is a tireless supporter of DotNetNuke in Canada. He has many clients that are extremely happy with their sites created with DotNetNuke. Gifford has worked hard evangelizing DotNetNuke in his area and started a user group to support others who use the product. Gifford gave up his time to come to Tampa in June of 2009 to speak at the Day of DNN. He is a likeable person and will bend over backwards to support your needs.” November 19, 2009 ~Brian Scarbeau, Founder, Orlando DotNetNuke User Group
“As founder of the DotNetNuke User Support Group in Halifax Gifford Watkins is furthering what I would describe as the single most democratic movement in the business world since the advent of the computer! Understanding how to manipulate today's advances in technology and delivering a superior product at a fraction of the cost is what Gifford is doing. It is a new day in web based communications. The smallest of companies can now put together a fully functional Content Management System. Thanks Gifford for helping me do just that.
