Update: Iain Munro from ContentEditorWebPart.com will be joining us and offering a custom solution built just for this workshop.

As I was putting together the Random Solutions with the Content Editor Web Part live online workshop, I started laughing, realizing I should have called it the “What if you could…?” workshop. Here’s a quick three minute screencast to give you an idea of what I’m talking about.

Embed code for this screencast

• Restrict content to small area for scrolling
• Embed a count down timer
• Use F1 for context sensitive help
• Put message of the day throughout a site collection
• Reclaim the space where the Quick Launch Bar resides
• Create a dropdown menu for cross Site Collection access
• Celebrate with a fireworks display

Everything in the screencast is done in a Content Editor Web Part. I didn’t create some of the solutions. The credit there goes to Christophe Humbert, Iain Munro, Todd Bleeker, Shane Perran, Andy Schmidt and other resources I found on the web.

The workshop walks you through implementing the preconfigured web parts so that you can tweak them just for your environment. I had a blast putting this together and hope you’ll join us for the rollout of some really fun CEWP solutions.
