Card Sorting is a technique used by myself and many Information Architects to categorize information and sites; has other applications too.
Donna Spencer, with Boxes and Arrows, wrote a fantastic article titled: “Card Sorting: A Definitive Guide“. If you are interested in this technique, I highly recommend reading this article.
Found a good article describing the steps to building a SharePoint Roadmap; written by Alan Weintraub.
I was asked to repost the article: Getting to know the Data Form Web Part. This was originally distributed via the SharePoint Beagle Newsletter back in October 2009, authored by Raymond Mitchell.
Andrew Connell has a great post on Upgrading a SharePoint WCM Site to a SharePoint 2010 WCM Site. Definitely worth taking a look at!
I am looking at the ASUS Z8NA-D6 motherboard. This board will accept 2 Intel Quad-Core X5500 Series processors. If you have any experience or thoughts about this board for my SharePoint 2010 Sandbox Server, please let me know.
This will be a busy week for me; I have decided to build a new 64-bit server dedicated to run SharePoint 2010. Once the server is built, the easy part, I will need to find a software installation guide; maybe even one written by a fellow SharePoint MVP.
As I choose server hardware, begin the building process, install software, and so on, I will keep you up to date. Meaning, I will continue to update this post as I learn more and build the server.
5/11/2010 – I posted a question to my fello MVP friends and received some great feedback. There is some information on the web, available now, that will walk us through the steps to building a virtualized SharePoint 2010 Server. Andrew Connell, with Critical Path Training, gave me the okay to mention their article. If you go to the Critical Path Training site, make sure to sign up as a member (it’s free) then locate the latest and greatest article in the Members area titled something similar to SharePoint Server 2010 Virtual Machine Setup Guide. When I get the exact title of this guide, I will update this post.
I’ve got to thank Muhanad Omar, Spencer Harbar and Andrew Connell for helping out so far (expect this list to grow as I learn more)! 
Well… I have been in the hospital for the last 3 months and I am finally home. I am grateful to be home but am still in a wheelchair. It is a goal of mine to continue to build my strength and be out of the wheelchair in less than 2 months.
I would like to thank everyone who sent me text messages, magazines and get-well packages while I was in the hospital; everything was greatly appreciated.
During the time I was in the hospital the billing for my blog lapsed and was shut-down. Unfortunately, GoDaddy was unable to restore my blog files so everything was lost. I do have all my past blog posts saved locally and will get them back up here over time; but its a low priority on my list of things to catch up with. You can only imagine, being offline for 3 months, my catch-up list is quite large. If you have any past blog articles you would like to see posted, please let me know and I will do my best to get it up here for you.
Back to SharePoint; getting my servers back up and running and moving forward with learning what the new 2010 version has to offer!
