Great article by Lori Neff on how to plan the branding of your SharePoint site. As she points out, one of the biggest things that is missed is Training. Definitely worth reading if you are planning to brand your site SharePoint site in any way.

I have decided to breath new life into BrandingSharePoint.com. I had some steam going into this blog at the beginning but just like a lot of bloggers, I got busy and eventually neglected it. Over the last couple of weeks I have been evaluating the SharePoint blogging platform and hosting company that I was with. After much wrestling I have decided to use WordPress as the blog engine. It seems like a no-brainer. WordPress is built for blogging…however, this is a site about SharePoint. After taking a trial run with WordPress, SharePoint just doesn’t compare. There are still a ton of great things about SharePoint and I am still a huge fan of SharePoint – just not for personal blogging. Things may change with SharePoint 2010 around the corner but even then, my hosting provider may take 1-2 years before they would upgrade to SP2010.
With the move Lori Neff has also created her own blog which you should check out for additional SharePoint branding and Silverlight topics. http://morethanorange.wordpress.com/
The current temperature outside is -8. Winter has just started and we have a couple more months of living in this frozen tundra. To keep my spirits high, I am thinking about spring. Specifically, spring baseball. I am really looking forward to sitting in the new ball park outside. In honor of Target Field, I created a Tilt-Shift photo from an aerial shot. Now let’s just hope it doesn’t snow on opening day!
