So, as I’m building out our company intranet in SharePoint 2010, I didn’t like the fact that when I was nested several pages deep in a particular site, when I clicked on the logo on the top left of the page it took me to the root of that particular site. I figured it would take me to the “home” page, or the root site collection. Turns out this is handled in the master page of that website. Here’s how…
Following the //build/ conference in Anaheim, I downloaded a copy of Windows 8 developer preview (32 bit) to put on my Dell Mini 12, 1 GHz Atom processor, 1GB RAM, 40GB SSD drive. A little history…I ended up having to put Windows 7 starter edition on it because it was running so horribly.

One of the tasks I have at my workplace is to “migrate” SharePoint sites from one parent site to another as projects are closed out. I wanted a solution to keep all of the business’s active project sites separate from their “archived” ones. The problem arose when that “archive” has to happen. You can’t just “move” a website in SP2010 (or at least, not in any way I’ve found or researched). You can, however, export and import the site, so…
