http://www.sharepointblogs.com/fortheuser/default.aspxA blog for SharePoint users. If you are a SharePoint administrator or developer, feel free to read on but be warned I&#39;ll be covering stuff that may seem pretty basic to you. It&#39;s been my experience that getting started with and getting the most out of SharePoint as an end user isn&#39;t always an intuitive process. My goal is to provide information and content in the hopes of smoothing your path to becoming a master SharePoint user.enCommunityServer 2007 SP2 (Build: 20611.960)http://www.sharepointblogs.com/fortheuser/archive/2008/03/26/displaying-an-rss-feed-within-a-moss-publishing-site.aspx#21190Wed, 24 Sep 2008 09:47:44 GMT1f6a1193-f4bb-4480-a5ae-b538d8b20f46:21190Ian<p>Thank you for this information. &nbsp;It has provided the answer I needed to develop our Intranet homepage.</p> <hr><span style="font-size:10pt;">Posted on <a href="http://www.sharepointblogs.com/">SharePoint Blogs</a></span> <img src="http://www.sharepointblogs.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=21190" width="1" height="1">http://www.sharepointblogs.com/fortheuser/archive/2007/10/26/the-ecstasy-and-agony-of-the-moss-enterprise-license.aspx#20939Tue, 16 Sep 2008 15:19:22 GMT1f6a1193-f4bb-4480-a5ae-b538d8b20f46:20939Eric G<p>I completely agree also. &nbsp;As someone that has been making do with the previous version of InfoPath and FrontPage Data Views, I was ecstatic to here about Forms Server and BDC. &nbsp;But when we found out that for our 6500 person company the CALs come to over $1mil before discounts all opportunity went out the window. &nbsp;Microsoft got too greedy.</p> <hr><span style="font-size:10pt;">Posted on <a href="http://www.sharepointblogs.com/">SharePoint Blogs</a></span> <img src="http://www.sharepointblogs.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=20939" width="1" height="1">http://www.sharepointblogs.com/fortheuser/archive/2008/05/30/be-vewy-vewy-quiet-we-re-hunting-web-pawts.aspx#20931Tue, 16 Sep 2008 13:29:13 GMT1f6a1193-f4bb-4480-a5ae-b538d8b20f46:20931Earl<p>Yup that makes since.

I had some problems and then I solved with microsoft guys,,if you have a firewall or ISA, We should create a policy for users specifically by adding the RSS URL with this policy after associating the respective sharepoint server with the policy. Also you have to enable the default proxy path in web.config file to the proxy server like - <a href="http://proxyservername:portno-/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://proxyservername:portno-</a> Happy codings to all, letz live together...Suresh </p> <hr><span style="font-size:10pt;">Posted on <a href="http://www.sharepointblogs.com/">SharePoint Blogs</a></span> <img src="http://www.sharepointblogs.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=16149" width="1" height="1">http://www.sharepointblogs.com/fortheuser/archive/2007/11/01/the-importance-of-metadata.aspx#15494Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:43:59 GMT1f6a1193-f4bb-4480-a5ae-b538d8b20f46:15494ferringer<p>Arshad --</p> <p>Have you taken a look at Audiences? &nbsp;If you're using MOSS 2007, you can set up audiences to include your targeted users and scope your web parts to only display for a specific audience. &nbsp;One of my clients places multiple instances of a web part on the page, one for each audience. &nbsp;When a user loads the page, they only see the web part that is scoped to their audience.</p> <p>For more information on Audiences, check out: <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/HA101690531033.aspx">office.microsoft.com/.../HA101690531033.aspx</a></p> <p>Hope that helps,</p> <p>John</p> <hr><span style="font-size:10pt;">Posted on <a href="http://www.sharepointblogs.com/">SharePoint Blogs</a></span> <img src="http://www.sharepointblogs.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=15494" width="1" height="1">http://www.sharepointblogs.com/fortheuser/archive/2007/11/01/the-importance-of-metadata.aspx#15482Fri, 18 Apr 2008 02:55:30 GMT1f6a1193-f4bb-4480-a5ae-b538d8b20f46:15482arshad<p>Hi,</p> <p>I wana restrict different web part contents for different users.
