As posted here as well… http://www.sharepointproconnections.com/Articles/tabid/149/nodeid/2008/SharePoint-in-2010–SharePoint-MVPs-Offer-2010-Predictions.aspx Demand for SharePoint is still on the lower crest of the tidal wave in my opinion.

Read onCreate a Blank SharePoint page using a Content Editor Web Part (CEWP)
Warning, this isn’t original blog content.
