When you are working on a SharePoint site, you usually do it on a development environment, so you need to think (even if you don’t want to) about the migration of the project to a production environment. This could be a nightmare if you are not prepared, but try to follow these tips on the deployment phase, and things will go much easier.
Before deployment:
· If you are deploying a publishing site, be sure you don’t have “Draft” or “Pending” documents or items. All unpublished items are not visible to anonymous users. A little tip: use the “Manage Content and Structure” option (for publishing sites) to filter all site items by “Drafts”, “Pending”, “Checked-out...

In the business world, nearshore outsourcing, or simply, nearshoring, refers to the use of another business for certain activities that are close to home. In other words, it is the same thing as traditional outsourcing, only the companies that are being outsourced to, are in a close vicinity to the country in which the company that hired them is located. For example, suppose a small software development firm in the US wants to find another company for IT outsourcing purposes. It would not be unheard of in this particular industry to outsource that type of work to India or China. If the US based company instead goes with a company from Mexico, then that would be an example of nearsho...

As we approach the new major release of Microsoft SharePoint 2010 it is important to review the newset of features and how your organization can benefit from them:
First, SharePoint is more than just another application, it is a Software Platform, and it is platform in the sense where not only developers can build with the Rapid Application Development Tools, but also end users through Composites and Mashup Tools, enabling them to really customize and adapt the product to their needs.
SharePoint provides a unified technology infrastructure and costs for your organization. No more separate purchases for a Collaboration System, another for a Business Intelligence Sys...

When it comes to SharePoint site branding, you think about styles, pages library, web parts, etc. But then you realize your site has another “side”… the “_layouts” section where it involves all pages: 1) People and groups (site permissions), 2) All site content, 3) Site settings, and all of them use a different masterpage than the rest of your site!
Then you think you can “customize” those pages with a simple modification to your “Application” master page (using your site’s theme of course). That’s not as easy as it looks. According to Microsoft there are two ways to modify/customize the application.master page:
1. Modify the application.master page in t...

If you've seen a blog (out of the box) in SharePoint, you will have noticed that even though you change the color, image, font, etc. of the document it still has the same style that at the very beginning.
To be able to change the "theme" of complete blog you need to change the MasterPages styles, and finally a very detailed and tedious task. I found a solution on CodePlex, a very professional solution to be able to achieve this.
The best of all is that this solution is a "Feature", meaning you can activate and deactivate it after creating your blog, and in a very quick and easy way. You only need to download it, unzip the zip file on the server, and ru...

This is very useful when for instance, Google has one of your site’s no longer existing pages, on cache: or if a user types a wrong URL directly on the browser.
Here you’ll find the steps needed for customize your Error 404 Page, with SharePoint.
