There are few things I would have done differently and they mostly have to do with organizing the site better. I would suggest that those new to SharePoint really become most familiar with content types and the various ways they can be used to enhance page layout and usability. If you can come out of the gates with this knowledge in hand your site development and efficiency will profit greatly.

If any momentum had been lost in our off shoring effort the launch of the DMC seemed to offer possibilities to improved communications. Soon the request to send further functions arrived and in turn mangers now came to SharePoint for solutions. This was of course rewarding on two fronts. One, the learning and familiarity curve had begun its slalom down and the second, my solution prowess was on the rise.

As user hits were reaching the 5,000 a month mark I began to investigate what SharePoint could do as a workflow tool as apposed to just a library of training and procedures.

Having worked in e learning for years I understood perfectly the dilemma that many users feel once mass amounts of content are uploaded to Learning or Content Management Systems, overwhelmed. While those systems do ask for tagging and categorizing they can often fumble when automatic or intuitive curriculum builds are launched.
