Remove “Recently Modified” from Quick Launch in SharePoint 2010
While messing around with SharePoint 2010 pages today, I remembered I wanted to find a way to remove the “Recently Modified” section from the Quick Launch area. This was a very easy fix, as explained by John Dandison. Add a Content Editor Web Part to any section of the page and put this in the HTML: <style> .s4-recentchanges { DISPLAY:none; } </style> Now THAT was easy! Sure you can also do this in SPD, but for me this was a…
Hiding status bar messages in SharePoint 2010
Often times, we may need to make changes to master page files in a SharePoint site to customize a layout, add styling, CSS, custom web parts, etc. When the site was created using a default site template and content type, and your changes deviate from this, as you save you’ll be prompted with a warning basically saying “you do realize this is different from the original template, right?”.

Moving a SharePoint 2010 Web using PowerShell
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…
