You know, that's probably the first question that's on your mind.  It would be for me, too.  Well, this post will hopefully explain my purpose in setting up this blog.

I'm pretty much new to SharePoint - WSS 2003 is the only one I've used - so I'd like to share my experiences with you other newbies out there and hopefully save you some time and heartbreak.  I've been charged to use SharePoint to create our company's intranet site.  There's some fairly intense stuff I need to do to make it work, so hopefully there will be a little something in it if your bother reading this stuff.  One of the things I'll be doing in the next few weeks is migrating a stand-alone WSS server that is currently using an MSDE database to the web-farm model of WSS that talks to a SQL 2000 database on a remote server.  Then I need to copy the data from that server to another server, and then sync both servers to have the same data and pages.  Fun stuff coming down the pipes.  So stay tuned.

BTW: I recently attended the SharePoint BootCamp in Anaheim, Cali.  I'll post a longer review in a later blog, but for now know that it was a lot of fun and very informative.  Oh, yeah, and if you made it this far into my blog, have some mints (inside joke).

One more thing, if you ever have a comment, correction, question, or answer about a blog I write PLEASE post a comment or e-mail me.  This is meant to be a discussion that anyone can add to.

Later!
