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…

Make your SharePoint Libraries Favorites in Windows Explorer for Easier Saving

You're working furiously on a document with only a few minutes left until the doors close for the day (or your laptop battery dies, or some other emergency happens).

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...

Setting Versioning on a Document Library in MOSS 2007

So you want to be able to keep multiple drafts of a document you and your team are working on without other people seeing it and when you've finally polished your policy manual (or whatever your document may be), post it for "everyone" to see? Well, SharePoint can let you do that! See my blog posting on creating a document library . Once your library is created, you'll want to turn on your versioning settings within the library (if you didn't do it when you created the library). To do so, click Settings from the Library's toolbar and select Document Library Settings . From the General Settings options, select Versioning Settings . From this screen, you will set whether or not the document requires approval before being made available to "everyone" to view. (Everyone being whomever has permissions to view the document library). Determine if you want major and minor versions and set the number of versions you need. Who should be ab...
