I'd like to put the logged in user's name into my skin: Something like "Welcome, Joe Craig" Can I do this inside of a Text/HTML module (if so, how do I get the user's name) or would I need to do this similarly to the way you discussed adding admin only content to a page?

No, you can't do it directly in an HTML module, you have to put it in a file where the code can be executed (.ascx or .aspx). However, if you are using PageBlaster for DNN then you could put [RE:DNN.UserInfo.DisplayName] in your HTML module (or anywhere in the page) and it would be replaced with the user's display name.

Hmmm ... maybe I should look at PageBlaster?

John, Do you have some general idea as to the effect of PageBlaster on the speed of a 4.5.1 installation?

I have measured increases in Requests Per Second delivered of 600%-1000% using Load Testing on my local machine. I have listed some stats about one of the biggest DotNetNuke sites (traffic wise) in the following thread: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/-1/threadid/128345/threadpage/1/scope/posts/Default.aspx
