These are a few of the gotchas that came up when I was writing a project in C# to migrate over a million documents into SharePoint 2010.  If you aren't the site designer then it is worth making sure the designers have considered these points (if relevant), otherwise you may end up cursing SharePoint unfairly.

A quick summary of how to use the Office Custom UI Editor to customise the ribbon and a couple of tips to make life easier.

Recently my colleagues at Cognitum were asked to help a company give their users access to the company standard AutoCorrect list, and of course an easy way to update it from time to time. Their first stop was Google, where they were surprised to find a lot of frustrated people but no good solutions. Now, you can do it all manually, but it is a time consuming and fiddly process. We talked about it and I decided to have a go at making a good solution. The result was the AutoCorrect Manager which you can read about elsewhere. This blog entry looks at some of the things I learnt about AutoCorrect. There are still gaps in my understanding, so if you can help fill in some of those I'd really appreciate you using the comments section below.
