My first blog posting

I have been thinking for a long time that I needed to start putting down the things that I've learned about SharePoint and website design, sites that I frequent, and information that I have found helpful for some time. Perhaps it will help some other traveler along the way. I am not an expert, let me say this upfront. However, I do like to learn and I do like to share what I've learned. So I will share things as I have the opportunity and welcome feedback and comments.

Creating a SharePoint blog post using Word 2010

Create your blog posts in Word 2010 and post to your SharePoint blog (or other blogs such as Blogger). It's really quite simple. Open Microsoft Word 2010. From the Start menu, Select NEW>Blog Post The first time you do this, you'll be asked to register your blog platform. Word provides several options. I selected Blogger (of course).

This link no longer works, because it may have been moved or deleted. You can try to find it and follow it in its new location. (via www.absolute-sharepoint.com ) I had a problem at a client who had SharePoint 2013 MySites and a couple of WebApplications. Users were able to follow sites and they appeared in their mysite as usual, however when they clicked on them, they had this error: This link no longer works…

A review of VisualSP for SharePoint 2013 - unsolicited

One of the things we wanted to do in our new SharePoint 2013 environment was create a more user friendly environment and increase adoption by giving users the ability to learn "how-tos" without the need of a training class or a guided tour by the SharePoint person (aka me).  My first thought when we began planning for the upgrade was that built-in help would be excellent, but would also be a monumental task to create.  Having used many of SharePoint-Videos.com videos for my own learning needs, I turned to their site for ideas. Enter VisualSP.  Obviously, I'm not the only person who desired in-context help for the end users. We purchased VisualSP for SharePoint 2013.  Once our environment was configured properly, installation was not difficult. The installation procedures were straight forward and easy to follow. I am not replicating that information here, but will hit the highlights.  For full details and screenshots, see the link above. Installation must...
