Not too much time to blog today, but several folks have been asking about the slide deck from my metadata talk at SharePoint Saturday in Kansas City.
Please download the slides from the link below.
Metadata Briefing Slide Deck – SPSKC
I should have some time coming up in the next week or two to start blogging a [...]

I have had multiple clients over the past couple of years task me with getting external RSS feeds on their WSS sites.  While MOSS comes with an RSS Feed web part, and while there are other RSS Feed web parts out there for free or a nominal fee, I though I would make a post [...]

Since the response was so great to our articles regarding using the QueryString to pass information to PageViewer web parts, I have decided to make both web parts available, as SharePoint features deployed at the Site Collection level.
You can download the web parts at my company web site:  www.theportalgroup.biz
Just click on “Downloads”, register for free, [...]

 
If you are like me and do a lot of demos, especially ones that are running within a virtual environment (Virtual PC, VMWare Server, etc.) you have probably struggled with the best way to demonstrate the e-mail capabilities of whatever you are going to demo.  In my case, Microsoft SharePoint is what I am trying [...]

If you are lucky enough to have a development environment with even better tools, as I am sure most of you do, then please feel free to use whatever [...]

I am not sure how much call there is for a post like this, but I was thinking recently that with the free development tools available now from Microsoft, it might be possible to build a SharePoint development environment for free.  Lo and behold, not only is it possible, it is downright simple to do.
First [...]

I had occasion to move a SharePoint site (technically, it was a sub site) from one location to another today.  I am sure that there are several other folks that have put similar posts to this out in the blogosphere, but for those regular visitors to The Mack Page, I thought I would give you [...]

First things first – I am fully aware that I wrote in my first post of this series that I would be putting out 2 of these per week…and here it is, like 6 weeks later, and I am just now getting to the second post.  I have been sidetracked, at least for the purposes [...]

This the first of several related posts I am going to use to start exploring a concept I have had for some time – implicit documents.  Without getting too far down in the weeds yet regarding definitions (wait for Step 1 later this week), let’s just say that an implicit document represents the concept of [...]
