One of my clients has come back to me with a strange occurrence.  When they created a new web part page, the Quick Launch Links were no where to be found. One thing that I noticed is that my heavily customized sites did not have this problem, but the sites where the master page was left alone, for the most part, seemed to have this issue.  After some quick Google searching I quickly found the ans ...

FireFox, SharePoint and CEWP

23Oct2008Filed under:

For many of you working with a Content Editor Web Part and FireFox is a real nuisance, since Fire Fox does not render the neat little Rich Text Editor that shows.  This is also true for adding to a list with SharePoint and FF.  Now there is a neat little add-on that you can install called WriteArea.  With this add-on, when your area is open in FF and you are missing the nice editor or you see all ...

New Blog Design for Lawrence Liu

23Oct2008Filed under:

Recently Lawrence asked me to design a blog for him for his new space www.communityzenmaster.com, I was thrilled he asked, but was dreading the design process.  When I design, I really have to have my creative energy flowing and it wasn't; I was feeling quite flat.  It took about a week to get back on track and once I did I was no longer dreading, but designing. I was off into Fireworks-land play ... Read More

I was working on a page in SharePoint Designer working with data views. The page was 95% done, when I went to open the page again, and each time I did, the program crashed.  After trying several more times, I decided to rebuild the page, thinking it was just a fluke.  When I got to one particular part, which happened to be a Content Editor Web Part (CEWP), it happened again.  So I had found the c ...

About Heather Waterman

I work with/for PixelMill.  I have been with them since 2002.  I started working with them as an independent developer and moved into a day to day role in 2004.  I work on different development projects, but my favorite projects are SharePoint.  I create the SharePoint Skins that are sold online at PixelMill and a few other items. ;-)

Branding SharePoint is a love/hate relationship.  I love it 90% of the time and hate it the other 10%.  Of course that's only when I can't get something to work.

I am addicted to Twitter, Flickr and FaceBook. 

97% of the people I work with I've never met.

I live in the country and have Cows on one side of me, Lamas on the other, and an occassional rooster or possum in my backyard. 

I like all types of music, from Beetoven to Linkin Park to Third Day.

Right now I am reading the Twilight series by S. Meyer.

I teach part time at a Private School and love working with the kids.

I love to spend time with my kids.

My husband is my BFF. 

I work from home.  So I get to work when I want.
