The portal is a great place to go for SSIS resources, and will be continually updated with “what’s new” and “what’s best” for SSIS. Also make sure to use the “Feedback” links at the top right hand side of the page if you have anything you’d like to see included on the page - they take the feedback they receive very seriously!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9286348" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/mattm/archive/tags/General/default.aspx">General</category></item><item><title>Welcome!</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/mattm/archive/2006/10/30/welcome.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 30 Oct 2006 18:49:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:903773</guid><dc:creator>mmasson</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://blogs.msdn.com/mattm/comments/903773.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://blogs.msdn.com/mattm/commentrss.aspx?PostID=903773</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri&gt;I guess it’s only fitting that the first blog post is about the blogger himself!&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri&gt;My name is Matt, and I’ve recently moved to the Redmond area to work for Microsoft as a Software Design Engineer (SDE) on the SQL Server Integration Services team. I’ve been working in the BI field for the past five years, and have a pretty solid development background in a variety of languages and technologies. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri size=3&gt;Over the past couple of months I’ve been learning the ins and outs of SSIS. I try to read the &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A class="" href="http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&amp;amp;siteid=1" mce_href="http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&amp;amp;siteid=1"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri color=#800080 size=3&gt;MSDN forum&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri&gt; daily, and have learned a lot from the great MVPs and community that has formed there. A lot of the time I’ll try to build the packages described in the posts, and wanted to start a blog to document some of the more interesting things I come across.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri&gt;Being a&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;developer on the team, I also have access to the latest builds. I’ll try and post about new features whenever I can, especially when they relate to customer feedback. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri&gt;Feedback and comments are always welcome… I’m hoping to make this as interactive a blog as possible.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
