Just a quick heads-up on what you can expect on my blog and demo site in the weeks to come:
Image rotator: there’s been a lot of interest around my Image Rotator, and I have received several enhancement requests. I am going to push a couple of them into the script generator, and for the rest I’ll publish some advice on how to tweak the code. I am also thinking about creating an XSLT version for the XML Web Part.
Easy Tabs: also a big success. Well, I love them too, and I put them all over the place in my demo site! I’ll publish some explanations on how to customize their look.
Calendars: I need to work on my demo page, to showcase all the customizations described in my blog, and add some more. I am also thinking about building a script generator.
jQuery: several upcoming demos – mostly proofs of concept for now, the tutorials may come later.
HTML calculated column: this method opens up endless possibilities, and I’ll publish a few more examples. Also, people tend to restrict its scope to color coding, so I’ll try to show other applications.
iframes: displaying a list or calendar in another site/site collection/SharePoint server, resizing the Page Viewer Web Part or the Excel Web Access Web Part, all these are popular but difficult topics. I have answers, but some more testing is needed.
Guest posts: if one of my articles helped create a breakthrough in the way you use SharePoint, I’d love to hear your story, and I’ll be happy to work with you on a guest post for my blog. Thanks for sharing!

Works great – one avenue for improvement – don’t cache all photos at once, to speed up load time.

Thanks for the comment, Eric, but…I am not sure what you’re referring to. Are you talking about the image rotator? AFAIK it doesn’t load all photos at once.

In reference to ‘Color’ calendar. We are currently using WSS and will be upgrading to MOSS Aug 09. I’m still having problems with adding color to my calendars. We want to use the following:
Green – Military Training, Yellow – Conference/VTC/Meeting, Blue – Hospital Training
Yes, I work in a military hospital. Thanks,

Frank, did you use the formula generator for this?

Christophe, thanks for your work on the TextToHTML solution. That plus inspiration from a EUSP screencast let me code up a media center solution using Lytebox.
I use calculated columns all the time to create HTML statements and the media center was just one of my uses. I don’t really use them for color-coding, though…I suppose I could.
Thanks again and I look forward to reading more of your work.

I find this site Tech Training Notes’ and it talks about ‘SharePoint color coded calendars’.

I followed the instructions and get the following on my calendar:

How do I correct this? I will be using Blue, green, red, and yellow
Hope you can help. We are using MOSS
Thanks
