Banner Image You need to create a banner at the top of the page. The image by default is replicated so I have created a large wide image which is 2500px by 100px you won’t see the replication. On your desktop create a new file and call it newcss.css. Open the file in notepad and add the below code. When your site is loaded, SharePoint will also look at this CSSfile but first we must tell SharePoint to look at this file. http://www.bfcnetworks.com/add-a-banner-to-sharepoint-2010/

It is very easy to replace the top left (orange) default SharePoint logo in a site by your own. Just prepare a small image in .jpg, .gif or .png format with reasonable dimensions (the default icon is 32×32) and upload it to a library where all site users have, at least, read permissions. For a top site in a site collection, that could be the Style Library which already has an Images folder. In sub-sites, you can either use the Site Assets or Site Pages or any existing or new library with Read permission for all. Make a note of the image URL (right-click and copy shortcut or mouse over and note the status bar). To use the logo, go to Site Actions, Site Settings and then click the Title, Description and Icon (under Look and Feel).

How to change the values of 'Created By' and 'Modified By' fields in SharePoint list?

I was just stuck with this problem, but finally found a solution. The values of 'Created By' and 'Modified By' fields can be modified programmatically. Here is a code snippet to achieve this:

Announcements “Gotchas” On SharePoint 2010 Site Pages | Views from Veronique

http://veroniquepalmer.wordpress.com/2011/04/23/announcements-gotchas-on-sharepoint-2010-site-pages/ In SharePoint 2010 site pages, the Announcements web part is not a default web part on the landing page like it is in 2007. It has however been created, look under All Site Content. To insert the web part, edit the page. If you do that, then save the page, the whole web part is deleted and you have to re-insert it.
So, I have gotten a lot of great feedback within the comments of my blog. I have heard from quite a few people that they either just been tasked with branding SharePoint and don’t know where to start. Or they have a basic idea about SharePoint, CSS and HTML but don’t know where or how to reference the custom CSS. This is a long post so hold on to your hat! This approach allows you to have a single source for all of your CSS and images. Note that it is recommended to create a solution package with all of your files and deploy it especially if you have more than one web front end server. http://erikswenson.blogspot.com/2011/03/sharepoint-2010-basics-on-how-to-apply.html

Ten of the best - SharePoint School websites - Education - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

A colleague asked me to recommend some school websites built on SharePoint, that they could share with others. After I’d finished it for him, I thought I’d pop it into a PowerPoint for others - and then go further by popping up a quick blog post too. Here’s my take on 10 School SharePoint websites that are worth looking at for design ideas and inspiration - or simply because you want to nudge another colleague towards seeing that SharePoint beauty can start at skin deep. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/education/archive/2011/07/18/ten-of-the-best-sharepoint-school-websites.aspx
As those of you who know me personally will be aware two of my passions are technology and data! For a History teacher this is fairly unusual but these are also two of my key roles in school as an Assistant Headteacher- e-learning and data. During the last week I have been very busy making sure all our systems will be ready with Windows 7 installed throughout the site and three refurbished computer rooms (two of which the contractor still hasn’t finished). http://sharepointineducation.com/your-gcse-results-in-10-hours-or-in-10-minutes-the-power-of-reporting-services-and-sharepoint

This typical scenario can occur in any organisation. Is it a failure? No, but imagine the scenario if the IT guy says, “Nope, sorry you overwrote it. It’s gone.”

SharePoint in Education - Mike Herrity's Blog about SharePoint in Education

How many schools are now s ending text messages to parents? This seems to be a growing trend within schools largely to inform parents of absence. For me the real power of text messages is not only in absence reporting but in updating parents on other key information such as reports being sent home or a parents evening. Twynham School currently has an SMS solution which we have used but this is not in SharePoint. Over the last 3 months we have been looking at what options exist for integrating text messaging and in my email inbox today could be the answer. S P Web parts contacted me to announce that they had created an SMS solution which runs through SharePoint.
Course Synopsis You are already able to utilise SharePoint Designer 2010 to create and customise a site's lists, views and web pages, but want to extend your site's capability to include information from external data sources, or make connections to Business Connectivity Services. You may wish to enhance your user interface by creating Data Views and create custom List and Library forms.

Over the last two days we have been talking about producing online content to support and engage students. Having produced a working GCSE Revision Gateway and spent time talking with 30+ students about design was this enough to ensure success? At this stage we needed to identify if students were using the sites we set up and what they thought about them. One of the best ways to find out what students think about absolutely anything is to set up a SharePoint Survey. In SharePoint 2007 there is a great survey function which we use extensively to get feedback from staff and students at Twynham School. I will not spend any time going through how you make a survey as this has been done elsewhere.

Every now and then, when customizing a SharePoint User Experience, you'll come across a request to show content below the Quick Launch/Left Nav area. Now I know what some of you are thinking. You're thinking, "That's the Quick Launch zone. Nothing goes there except the Quick Launch!!! It can't be done. I can't possibly display content there!!!"
