Introduction: SharePoint – The Basics
Guest Author: Geoff Varosky
In the coming weeks I will be releasing a series of articles here on EndUserSharePoint, discussing some basics around HTML and CSS. For a lot of you, this will be material you may already know extremely well.
However, there are a vast majority of people I see working with SharePoint, that can copy and paste in HTML or CSS code into, say, everybody’s favorite, the Content Editor Web Part, but do nothing more to it from there. They do not understand the basics of HTML and CSS, which is the basis of how SharePoint is rendered to the end user via their web browsers.
Each article will cover specific areas of HTML and CSS – such as layout, formatting, links, tables, HTML forms, starting with a basic introduction. I will show in each of these examples using SharePoint as our development platform for HTML and CSS, and will provide as many external resources as possible for assistance along the way.
To mix things up, I also plan to get a few articles out there on some SharePoint specific features that may be of great use to the EndUserSharePoint viewer community.

Did this series die on the vine? I don’t see anything on the links when I search the site for the other articles. Am I missing something?
Hi,
I was really looking forward to the articles as I am new to SharePoint. What happened to it? Can
Many Thanks

Yes, unfortunately it sort of did die on the vine. Since there is renewed interest however, I will fire this back up! Stay tuned…
Looking forward to it. Normally I am blindly trying different things to tweak the code that I copy and paste but it can be frustrating and tedious. I think there is audience out here in sharepoint land that would benefit greatly from this series. Especially for those of us who are limited to the out-of-the-box features.
