Brainlitter - Inside the mind of Sean Wallbridge

Well, gotta love the power of smart friends. I’m more of an SMB/SharePoint Infrastructure guy, however, I do some SharePoint Development (not really in .NET, think of me as the go between, in Designer). Anyways, I needed to know how to create a ‘back’ button on a Specialized SharePoint site that was acting as a …

Microsoft Office Sustained Engineering released the date for the arrival of SP2 for SharePoint – April 28, 2009 (reference: http://blogs.technet.com/office_sustained_engineering/archive/2009/04/16/service-pack-2-for-the-2007-microsoft-office-system-due-to-ship-april-28th.aspx)   Some of the big improvements (at least from my perspective) coming include: Revised/improved documentation and knowledge base articles The Microsoft Save As PDF or XPS add-in has been built into Office applications in SP2. …

Stumbled across this day and couldn’t resist bookmarking it for myself, as I’m sure I’ll be reusing some of these CEWP’s (Content Editor Web Parts). Kudos to the author for building a great resource: www.contenteditorwebpart.com (the site) CEWP and XML Examples in Action CEWP’s for Downloading

I’m a SharePoint fan (and presumably one of the reasons M$ expressed interest in awarding me the MVP, of which I’m very proud of the consideration).  Maybe I’m even a bit of a homer about it (a homer, for all you non-hockey fans is someone that backs up your team and only sees the positive, …

I frequently find myself helping small business ‘migrate’ data from one SharePoint site to another (usually because they rushed into their first site design and realized after the fact, that wanted to start again, but to take some data with them). So, okay, business is business, I’m always happy to help. The challenge is, which …

Microsoft has released 10 new SharePoint Themes that you can integrate into your Sites.  Several of them are very nice and the fella that runs ‘SharePoint Evolved’ has created a site that allows you to simply ‘sample’ each site template, without having to install them (use the ‘picker’ in the top right hand corner, to …

Well, what do ya know?  Apparently, Microsoft loves, my love for SharePoint (and all those other related things I do – SharePoint, Windows Server, Exchange, SQL, IIS, ASP.NET – you know, all those things that SharePoint works with – I think I was ‘built’ to be a SharePoint Guy).     I was awarded with …

Download link to get your free SharePoint Designer is here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=baa3ad86-bfc1-4bd4-9812-d9e710d44f42   So, that’s great.  But then again, now that means folks that haven’t been trained can cause more grief than usual – so, as people can get into mischief, locking down the ability for Designer to connect to a SharePoint site is a worthwhile …
