Updates on the Microsoft Certified Master site and blog

This post is basically a bit of shameless self promotion, but since I’m promoting others as well I figured it was probably ok. The MCM team updated both the MCM site and the MCM blog.

DIWUG at Qurius with 2 MVPs presenting => wrap up

Ton Stegeman presented about SharePoint being a platform that you can extend...
