I was recently tasked with theming a SharePoint 2010 web application and I thought it may be helpful to share some of the key items that are useful to know when branding a site within SharePoint.

Keeping it Simple…

You can keep the customisation simple and utilise the front end tools within SharePoint to add your own corporate logo, select a theme or modify a theme by changing the display colours.

We have had a need to create a custom timer job with SharePoint 2007 which performs a daily task that in turn updates data within a SharePoint site. There are many tutorials on the web that show you how to go about doing this but not much in way of information about problems encountered while doing so. So I’m going to use this blog to highlight some of the issues we have come across during development and deployment.

Before I begin describing the issues, the following link has a good tutorial for setting up a Custom Timer Job.
