Been (Obviously) poking around at WordPress themes
So now I know how to download and install them. I may take a look at further customizing the ones I have, or at making my own. I also need to look at plugins/extensions. I’ve also edited the theme a bit to remove that Blogroll thingamy, which I think is lame.

Updated WordPress
From 2.0.4 to 2.0.5 via Dreamhost’s One-Click Upgrade. It was actually about 3 clicks total. No big deal.

Search Link Salad
Stuff for me to remember based on current research (more about searching in WSS 2003, but am finding links related to future configurations of SPS2003 or MOSS 2007 search): Some documents are not returned in the search results when you use the Advanced Search feature in SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to search for content that…

MOSS 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh Install – Slipstreaming the Technical Refresh and by the way, you’ll be needing these exact .NET/WWFX installs too
Okay, so Wednesday and Thursday were my days for installing MOSS 2007 Beta2TR on our pilot servers. I followed Steve Smith’s excellent PDF-based instructions for “slipstreaming” the Technical Refresh updates into the normal install files for MOSS 2007 Beta 2, and then prepared a DVD-ROM with those files and the .NET 3.0 CTP release, which…

A good MOSS 2007 Blog

Web Part Packager – Link Salad
I went looking for a Web Part Packager install walkthrough with screenshots that a co-worker might find useful, but was unsuccessful. I did however find a bunch of links I wanted to save for myself. So if you don’t know about the Web Part Packager and you’re running SharePoint 2003 and developing/deploying web parts, learn…

Speculation – Further attempted fixes to WSS 2.0 Full Text Search
So the current situation is that despite my past posts about fixes to WSS 2.0/2003 Full Text Search, both my QA and Production environments have Full Text Search enabled, but are/were only returning results for content that pre-existed the fixes. The Full Text Index actually existed in the SQL Server Content Database (for WSS content),…

Using UNC Paths to access the “directory structure” in SharePoint 2003 – Requires WebClient service running on your client computer
So for the longest time I couldn’t figure out why on some computers I could use a UNC path to get to SharePoint sites’ resources, and on others I could. Now I think I finally have the answer. The mechanism is that if you have a WSS site (and Admin privs on that site) at…

IE7 Running Fine
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7 is out as of some time this week. It’s kinda slick. I don’t know if it’s necc’ly better than Firefox 1.5.0.7 (and I haven’t tried out Firefox’s 2.0 betas), but it seems to work pretty well and seems a bit more secure (esp. about expired/unverified SSL certs) with respect to explicitly…

Laptop/Notebook Hotfixes for MS Virtual PC 2004 SP1
So as you may know, Microsoft and many SharePoint dev houses swear by doing development on Virtual PCs/Virtual Servers. The reason for this boils down to the fact that when you are debugging a SharePoint Web Part with Visual Studio 2003, you have to connect to the active w3wp.exe process that IIS is using and…
