The first session of Become Your Company’s SharePoint Superstar is completed. We played to a “packed house” online, with all seats being taken plus a waiting list for the next session.

Paul Grenier and I spent some time today going over our presentation for this Friday’s live, online workshop: Become Your Company’s SharePoint Superstar!We’ve come up with some things you’ll be able to drag-and-drop on your SharePoint pages that will make your Grandma gasp.

It’s time to decide the best way to display your links on a page. If you are using MOSS, you have what I consider five options: Links List, Content Editor Web Part, Content Query Web Part, Summary Links Web Part, and I Need to.. Web Part. It really comes down to how many links are you trying to display?

Adding a Google Map to SharePoint
Adding a map to your SharePoint site provides value to those that look to your site for information.

Waldek Mastykarz has graciously provided the Quote of the Day Web Part with a much needed make over. Instead of managing the quotes from within the web part itself, the quotes can now be managed from a list!
