Hi I am a Senior consultant working with Microsoft Global Services (Collaboration Service Line).

And yes at last I have made a decision to start this blog to discuss and share issues and bits of information relating to Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 Web Content Management (WCM) and Vista gadgets. It may seem odd why I want a same blog discussing MOSS 2007 and Gadgets but I think there is some potential here in integration of these technologies. I will discuss about some of these in the coming few days. Mostly I will concentrate on WCM related stuff.

I am involved in a big MOSS WCM solution for a client involving a internet facing site with thousands of users and more than a few million hits. Also what is unique about this site except for that it is internet facing with lots of hits is the Hybrid nature of the solution. What I mean by Hybrid is that this WCM site works together with some very dynamic ASP.Net 2.0 solutions or we can say modules seamlessly.

Based on my learnings some of the areas to look for when you start on a WCM based web site:

• Branding (Look and feel customization)
• Security
• Site structure and Navigation
• Webparts and USer Controls
• ASP.NET application integration points
• Publishing
