Visual studio extensions and renaming sharepoint modules

If you get the problem in ESP view of many versions of the same feature normally shown as featurename_3
the cleanest fix is to go onto the filesystem where your visual studio project lives and delete the obp and pkg folders and then rebuild

Features in sharepoint

Features are great but when starting out make sure that you uninstall them on a regular basis using the stsadm tool otherwise when you provision new sites or want to release the features again but with update functionality things get a bit messy.

Content who cares ?

The answer is we should all care... from the secretary to the MD. An often hackneyed phrase is that content is king... however like all things in life there is more than a grain of truth in that phrase.
Whether you are creating Sharepoint Enterprise Publishing Sites or humble asp.Net driven ones there comes a time when content and how it flows into and out of your site becomes important.

When we are tasked with building a new web site or forms application we generally think about the structures within the database normally that will hold and drive the data. So we can think of fields and content types within sharepoint as amongst the most granular types of storage we can control.

Content Management encompasses much more but a good understanding of the content types within your solution will help to make sure that it can expand seamlessly as your organisation changes.
