Accessibility - one web for all
Recently, while gathering materials on a paper on accessibility in SharePoint 2007, I have stumbled upon an article by Roger Johansson about Web standards vs. Accessibility I have read a while ago.

Setting up Visual Studio for demos
How often have you showed some code in Visual Studio to your audience while giving a development presentation? Are you sure that the guys on the last row could see and mind-compile your code as easy as you using the screen in front of you?

CopyUtil.aspx and Publishing Sites
Recently Jan Tielens has presented on his blog the CopyUtil.aspx SharePoint application page. What this page does is it allows you to build up a link to a List Item using nothing but ID's (Site id if linking to another Site Collection, Web id, List id and List Item id). As Jan described in his article: this page gets very useful while working with SPSiteDataQuery which returns standard all the id's mentioned above! As we're just working with the SPSiteDataQuery at Imtech, I have decided to research both items further to see what is there inside for us.
