Read the 10 commandments for anyone running, editing, or developing a DotNetNuke website to ensure smooth functionality and optimal performance.

I started this list a while back, and decided I would go ahead and finish it, and post it online. Thanks to Oliver Hine for #9

As someone who runs, edits or develops for a DotNetNuke website, these are 10 things you should always stick to.

1) Thou shalt back up the files and database before: upgrades, extension installs, extension removals
2) Thou shalt not delete a page, ever
3) Thou shalt not rename a page, ever
4) Thou shalt not move a page, ever
5) Thou shalt not "display on all pages" without thinking through your actions
6) Thou shalt not disparage VB.net or C#
7) Thou shalt not resize images via HTML
8) Thou shalt not run old versions of
9) Thou shalt not paste from Microsoft Word without scrubbing the content
10) Thou shalt not use objectQualifier if at all possible (in development I do recommend it)

So, now the question is, should I put reasons for each of them? Or just leave them as is
