SharePoint Use Cases

Two weeks ago I visited Slovenia and Hungary and presented at SharePoint Days 2010 in Ljubljana, Slovenia and Hungarian SharePoint User Group in Budapest, Hungary.

I already blogged about Automatically applying theme to a SharePoint Foundation 2010 subsite but it seems language settings are not propagated to the subsite either. Imagine this scenario: A site collection http://intranet has been created with the default English language template.

I really happy to report that SAMS has published SharePoint 2010 Unleashed by Michael Noel and Colin Spence. Last year Michael invited me to contribute on this book and I wrote a chapter 7. on PowerShell “Leveraging PowerShell for Command-Line SharePoint Administration and Automation”. Writing books is not easy, and writing developer stuff (anything that includes code) is even more [...]

There is total of 21 built-in SharePoint 2010 Themes, here is the gallery:

SharePoint 2010 comes with a number of very nice looking site themes. In case you apply one of these themes to the root of your site collection, the theme will not be automatically applied to newly created subsites. My customers usually want one theme to be used and automatically applied across entire site collection. I created a simple [...]

Mark, the founder of EndUserSharePoint.com and his company Global 360 conducted a survey to find Top 50 influencers in SharePoint. You can find more about this project at EUSP. We started a little wager on twitter to find who the top 10 influencers will be… and you can still try to guess at this page.
