Save Site as Template not available in SharePoint 2010
For some reason or another I’ve been able to creat a new site then save it as a template in both SP2010 and SP Designer 2010…except all of a sudden. Not sure why, but when I exported an existing site from another farm (identical SP2010 installation), then imported it into another SP2010 farm the option is gone.

SharePoint 2010 now…

It would hit the page for you to build the JIT, which would allow all subsequent visits to the site(s) to load quickly as expected. Well, that doesn’t work in SharePoint 2010….but this does!
