This one is from way off in left field, but it explains many oddities that I’ve seen over the last 6 or more months, I think. Stick with me as I explain it. There are some goodies along the way, as well as the solution to this problem. At the very least, I get to…
I got an email from my blog this morning that asked an interesting question, and I thought that the answer might be generally of interest. Here’s the email, cleaned up a little: I feel glad to found your website which I can learn a lot from you. I would like to ask your opinion since…
I wanted to do a quick post about SPServices v0.6.1ALPHA1. The one change in this ALPHA is to add a new function called SPFilterDropdown. I’ve had a lot of requests for this functionality lately, though it has come up on and off in the past as well. Note that this is an ALPHA release, and…
I had the pleasure of meeting Ira Fuchs for the first time at SharePoint Fest Dallas a few weeks ago. Ira is a SharePoint Technical Specialist at Microsoft, so I’m guessing he has access to some of the brightest SharePoint minds in the world. As Ira and I were talking, he saw fit to gift…

I’m already getting pings about it. I wanted to point out the people who are on *my* A-List. Please add comments with yours!</UPDATE> Unlike most of my posts, the…
This post was cross-posted on NothingButSharePoint.com on 9 May, 2011. In my earlier post, I showed how to add script into a page using the CEWP in SharePoint 2007. In this post, I’ll do the same for SharePoint 2010, though in SharePoint 2010 there are other options as well. It’s worth repeating the intro to the…
I got a question in the SPServices Discussions the other day (it’s currently at the bottom of the thread) about listing folders in a SharePoint Document Library with SPServices. Little examples like this can be useful learning tools, even if they aren’t exactly what you are trying to do. <UPDATE>Based on the first two comments…
This post was cross-posted on NothingButSharePoint.com on 26 April, 2011. This one may seem so obvious as to not merit a post or two, but I get questions on it often enough and I realized that if I had posts to refer to, it’d be helpful. I don’t see the CEWP as evil like many…
In Part One , I wrote about how I choose to use Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare, and Twitter. Those are all “external” social media outlets, in that they are available to anyone on the World Wide Web (assuming that their government or employer doesn’t block them or some other such nonsense). But what of SharePoint? As…
On March 16 I was privileged to be able to speak at SharePoint Fest Dallas . I truly enjoy going to these conferences and being able to talk to people who are at many different stages of their SharePoint Journeys. Whether someone is at the conference to find out what SharePoint even is or is…
