Hi Laura,

Great video! :-) Right on target.

Do you also have a good tip on how to make this new web part page available as a template on the Create page? Right now, there’s only the 8 different web part page templates available, but I would also like to make my new custom template available in the same list.

Thanks.

I have been searching forever on How to Customize the Chrome Type (or look and feel) of a List View webpart. I know that you can use SPD to customize how the data appears using XSLT, but what about the BOX itself?

The Header, the border (basically the Chrome type)

Many Thanks if you can help!

Very nice. I’ve trying to learn how to build custom web part pages for a little while now. Very nice demonstration.

Great post thanks! Do you know of any best practices and/or guidance that reviews when to use a web part page, vs. creating a site? This seems to be a critical question that I don’t see a lot of information about.

Thanks,
Christina

Hi Laura,
My question is about rearranging webparts in SharePoint 2007. We have created a custom web part, which we can add to libraries. Once we do though, we want to rearrange the web parts (custom and not), but when we do, the whole program stops working and we have to go back to the beginning. We come back and of course the web parts are still in the same places, not the new places we wanted.
Help!
Thanks,
Loli

Nice, thanks Laura. I sometimes make folders in SPD off the root and then copy/paste to duplicate “default.aspx”. Why? By doing this I can have top link buttons WITH highlighting. Just use relative URLs. Ex: Top link button named “Folder” to “/site/folder/default.aspx” and it will highlight as you flip pages. Makes as many as you like. Too many people create child sites, when all they need is a 2nd or 3rd home page. =)

Aweome and precisely what I needed! Had just started figuring out how to do this–when I saw EUSP’s tweet regarding this screencast. Thank you so much!!! =)
