Amanda Murphy's Xbox 360 and SharePoint 2003 & 2007 WeblogAmanda Murphy's Xbox 360 and SharePoint 2003 / 2007 WeblogThe Beauty of SharePoint 2007 - Improved Content Editor Web Part- April 26, 2006 The content editor web part in SharePoint 2003 was very popular - especially for those that wanted to easily add custom static text, images or special scripts to a page. In SharePoint 2007 we see this web part has improved dramatically by addressing a couple of key pain points that existed with the previous version. Tables The support for tables has drastically improved by allowing for easier manipulations to a table after its creation as well as support for pre-defined styles and...http://blog.funknstyle.com/2006/04/the_beauty_of_sharepoint_2007_8.html Long Weekend- April 15, 2006 It's a long weekend and my body (and mind) needs it. Easter weekend is a major time of reflection for me so I won't be online as much. Though that is not to say I won't be spending some time kicking back and catching up on my gaming. The SharePoint 2007 posts will be continuing after this weekend. Thanks for all the positive feedback. I have lots more material to cover yet so no worries. Plus Shane and I have a few more surprises up our sleeves so stay tuned. In the meantime, for...http://blog.funknstyle.com/2006/04/long_weekend_1.html The Beauty of SharePoint 2007 - New Column Type (Person or Group)- April 13, 2006 Have you ever used the lookup column in a list or library to point to the User Information list Have you ever wished you could select an entire group of people or multiple individuals Well in SharePoint 2007, there is a column type dedicated specifically to People. Which makes sense because aren't we the reason that SharePoint sites exist in the first place. What is great about this column type is that you can point to all users, specific users within a SharePoint group, an entire.http://blog.funknstyle.com/2006/04/the_beauty_of_sharepoint_2007_6.html Xbox 360: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion- April 11, 2006 So I have had my Xbox 360 for almost 5 months now. Crazy how times flys! Unfortunately I haven't had quite the amount of time I would have liked to play it but I have been really making the time over the past couple of weeks. Shane surprised me with a copy of Oblivion a couple of weeks back when it came out and I absolutely love it! Every now and then you get a game that sucks you in and this is the first as such for me in a while. I think the last was Fable. The loading can take a...http://blog.funknstyle.com/2006/04/xbox_360_elder_scrolls_iv_obli.html The Beauty of SharePoint 2007 - Enhanced Security- April 11, 2006 Last Friday, the SharePoint Team had a great post outlining some of awesome security enhancements available in SharePoint 2007. My favorite items are 1, 2, and 5 but that may change depending a specific deployment projects where all of these will be sure to be important at some point or another for me. Being able to more easily use SSO will also be a bonus so let's face it - all of these are real exciting! From the SharePoint Team Blog: SharePoint 2003 has a robust security model for...http://blog.funknstyle.com/2006/04/the_beauty_of_sharepoint_2007_5.html INETA Live!

In 2003, we were limited to utilizing document library event handlers or third party solutions when it came to workflow automation within the SharePoint environment. While this was fine, it was often a pain point for organizations that had a limited budget or resources for third party tools and add-ons. SharePoint 2007 will provide many..http://blog.funknstyle.com/2006/04/the_beauty_of_sharepoint_2007_4.html INETA Live! - SharePoint 1,2,3- April 9, 2006 One of the key projects for 2006 for my team within INETA is the webcast series called INETA Live!

Using this menu feature, it becomes very easy to share documents with others (by sending a link) and promote or publish a document out to other locations. In addition to copying a document out to a different site library - you can also choose to establish a link to that alternate location so that you can update it in the future if the source document is checked in.http://blog.funknstyle.com/2006/04/the_beauty_of_sharepoint_2007_3.html The Beauty of SharePoint 2007 - Scan for Broken Links- April 7, 2006 The sites directory in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 has greatly improved and provides enhancements in both functionality and navigation. One of my favorite features is the ability to scan the sites directory for broken links. As a SharePoint adminstrator or manager, you will likely reach a point where many sites have been created however since their creation, some have been deleted or moved. SharePoint Portal Server 2003 made it very easy to organize your sites and create links..http://blog.funknstyle.com/2006/04/the_beauty_of_sharepoint_2007_2.html |
