Woo hoo! Today was another milestone day for SPServices. This is the kind of milestone which doesn’t really mean anything in particular, but it still is pretty darn cool. There have been exactly 1000 downloads of SPServices v0.5.4 since I released it on April 9. I’m not going to pretend to believe that means that…
I’ve fixed it on multiple machines, but I always forget where the setting is. Here, for future me when he needs them, are the simple steps to make this annoying popup go away: Go to Tools->Internet Options->Security Select the ‘Security’ tab Click the ‘Custom Level’ button In the ‘Miscellaneous’ section change ‘Display mixed content’ to…

This VM is self-contained and when I need a new, unique environment, I just spin up a new Web App and Site Collection. Why is this blog-worthy? Well,…
It’s Friday, and the weekend is coming. As I wax lyrically on the fun we will have this weekend with the party for my son’s sixth birthday, I had some thoughts about the upcoming USPJ Academy (USPJA) I wanted to share. (Weekends for a couple who both run home-based businesses aren’t so weekend-y, actually. Try…
Laura Rogers (aka @WonderLaura) posted a neato way to populate a list form with the current user’s information today in her post SharePoint List Form – Default User Information.
