Here's the executable code for the Resizer described in an earlier post. It's a single MSI file that installs on your machine.It requires the .Net 1.1 Runtimes.You can download it here.

As we covered in an earlier post, it can be a challenge keeping Picture Libraries to a manageable size.We've created this application to help squeeze images down to size. Modern digital cameras create very large images, but in many cases there’s no point in having an image larger than the screen. This application reduces the size of your pictures to a specified size.There are 3 steps once the

Our corporate Sharepoint site is a big hit. We’ve set it up so that each department has its own sub-web that they maintain.This is a great win for the company because it means that department intranets become self-managing. The Information Technology team can then focus on other things and don’t become a “bottle-neck” in the delivery of intranet services.The down-side of this is that the size

Uploading files in bulk to Sharepoint is easy – when you upload a file there’s a “multiple Items” link. Click that and you can select the files to upload.Imagine you’ve got to copy the contents of a Picture Library to your hard drive. How do you download them in bulk?There’s a couple of ways. Over at Bluedog Limited there’s a program called http://MySharepointSite. Open up a command prompt on

Let's see about creating a new View. Let us say that we want the Announcements List to appear in alphabetical order, running from A-Z.If we click "Home" at the top-left corner of Windows Sharepoint Services we get to the homepage. Pick the Announcement List and then "Modify" as shown earlier.Now, we're going to create a new Windows Sharepoint Services view called "Alpha". Scroll to the bottom of

A view lets us see Sharepoint Lists in different ways.Consider the Sharepoint Announcements List we looked at earlier. We could have one view that shows only the last 5 items, or to show only items with a certain configuration.Or perhaps show the items in alphabetical order.Each of these are separate Sharepoint views. Each list has a "Default" view that is shown when the list is selected from the

Now that we've created a picture library, let's put it onto the homepage.Click the "Home" link on the top navigation bar to get to the front page. Notice that the "Picture Libraries" link on the Left shows the Staff List we just created.Our goal is to have Sharepoint Services display the Staff List on the front page.Sidebar: Web Parts and ZonesThe list we created, along with the Announcements

So now we have a great picture library. Without changing a thing you have a robust place to store staff pictures.In this tutorial we'll look at enhancing this list. The skills you learn here can be used on all your Sharepoint lists. Modifying the Picture ListWe are going to add more information about the pictures we store in this library.Let's say we want to list the department for this person.

One of the great things about Sharepoint is that there is a large selection of standard list to choose from. One of more interesting is the Picture Library.The Picture Library allows us to store graphics onto our intranet without the complexity that other intranets cause.To create a new list, click on the “Create” link on the top blue toolbar. This shows us all the standard lists that can be

We've seen the Announcement list in a previous article. One of the other great list is the Event List - a list that lets you show calendars for your site.Let's review a scenario and see how Sharepoint Services can help.Let's assume that you are planning a series of meetings within your office and you want to have a central place to show the meetings and the times that they occur.The basic site

On the homepage you get a summary view of the Announcements. If you click on the title bar of any list you will be taken to the full screen showing the list in detail. Try it now by clicking on the "Announcements" list heading. The Announcements List HeadingNow you can see the complete Announcement.

As we have seen, Sharepoint Services comes with a series of great lists to kick-start your intranet. In this section we'll look at one of these lists - Announcements - as an example of how Sharepoint list works.On the home page, the Announcement list sits as the first item on the page.

When Sharepoint Services has been installed, it will set up a default site for you to use straight away. The site consists of a series of areas - called Lists - for document storage, calendar, to-do lists and more. Lists are the basic building block of Sharepoint Services so we'll be looking at them in detail later.Let's explore the areas and get to know the site.Click on the small graphic below

Many of us have wondered why it is so easy to find information on the Internet, yet it is so hard finding information within our own organization!The goal of an Intranet is to provide the easy access to information that we find on the Internet.In its basic form, an Intranet uses Internet technology to provide information that only your organization can see.Microsoft recently launched Windows
