My Personal Web of Confusion

I have a bunch of sites that I run and regularily maintain and sometimes it's not only confusing but hard to keep up. These are non-specific project sites, but contain (or should/would contain) tips and tricks, info, tools, downloads, and other goodies as I try to organize my Life 1.0 contributions to the world (both SharePoint and non). So in creating this monstrosity, I've built (as I like to call it) my own "Web of Confusion". Here's the rundown:

There are a dozen or so "other" sites that are individual projects (3 projects I manage on CodePlex) that I haven't included here but probably will add to the individual sites somewhere. Like any art, this is still a work-in-progress. I need to get more articles online on the SharePoint sites, update my personal site to the latest version of DotNetNuke, and start posting cool WSS v3 stuff. If you run your own WSS v3 site, let me know and I'll you to the my list of WSS v3 demo sites (there are 3 so far).

Why am I using DNN for my personal site and not WSS v3? Not sure and things may change. Once my hosting provider (and the software) hits RTM, that might change. It would certainly fix my problem with my personal blog as I detest the way the DNN blog module works. After then I'll probably switch my home page over to WSS and spin off a subdomain for DNN development as I have some DNN modules and skins in waiting right now.

Anyways, no Earth shattering SharePoint news today. Just thought I would toss my info out there for anyone who's interested. And let me know if there's anything in particular you're looking for, beit a DNN module, a SharePoint/.NET 2.0 Web Part, a theme, a tool, a skin, whatever. I'm always game for new challenges and have a few hundred toys in my toybox I have yet to share.

Do you have any community server themes to share or do you have an inclination to create some? While I really like the platform, I am not crazy about any of the CS site themes out there (the blog themes aren't bad). I am working on a site focused on our local IT community, and I would love to find a professional alternative to the basic blue theme (http://michianaitprofessionals.com).

I have been using Windows SharePoint Services V3 (2007) for my blog http://www.mikeysgblog.com and have loved it (especially since it went to Beta 2 Technical Refresh)I love how I can extend it for things like the dashboard pages I wanted to highlight in my blog posting on Using Excel 2007 For Car Shopping. http://www.mikeysgblog.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=319 Once RTM hits you should give it a whirl

G'day Bill, I have my own site hosted on WSSV2 @ webhost4life. I am in the process of moving that to my home on an SBS 2003 sever. I was trying to install WSSV3 before the move but am having issues with this upgrade - probably related to MSDE. So this will be exposed using WSSV2 as I move the DNS settings and host my email offsite rather than use the SBS exchange - less management. I'll get the DNS settings organised this week so you should see a change there. Will also try to install SQL2005 Express in place of MSDE to see what is possible. There is so much happening as far as new products available that it is becoming more challenging to stay informed and practiced.
