A blog for SharePoint users. If you are a SharePoint administrator or developer, feel free to read on but be warned I'll be covering stuff that may seem pretty basic to you. It's been my experience that getting started with and getting the most out of SharePoint as an end user isn'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.
About ForTheUser
Hopefully the name of this blog pretty much speaks for itself: the target audience is end users of SharePoint technologies. If you're a developer or administrator the things that I'll be posting about here may seem to be old hat or common knowledge. But I've found that for the average business user, SharePoint doesn't always come naturally. So expect to see posts about the difference between a collaboration site and a MySite, not about how to code a web part or install a new front end server.
