For your own sanity, and the sanity of everyone else, get your SharePoint terminology down

Ever heard a SharePoint portal, portal area, WSS site, site collection, top level site, web site in IIS [insert many more here] called a “site”? That’s a problem… one word can mean so many things.

Someone finally had enough and tries to set everyone straight. Todd Bleeker has a great post, adopted from a post in the Mindsharp SharePoint Yahoo group mailing list, on what a “site” is in the SharePoint world.

All Comments Are Filtered & Moderated
Unfortunately comment spammers are just too effecient and are constantly dirtying up blogs with irrelevant and unwanted comments trying to improve their standing on search engines. All comments on this blog are moderated. I do not censor comments, but I don't approve comments with vulger language or those soliciting products. Most of the time comments are approved within a few hours of being submitted with the only exception when I'm traveling.

Why are you asking for my email address?
The only reason I'm asking for your email address, which isn't required to submit a comment, is to provide a gravatar if you've created an account for yourself and associated your email address with a small image. If you have a gravatar created for the email address you submit, it will appear next to your comment. Otherwise nothing will appear.

What is a gravatar?
A gravatar is a "globally recognized avatar." You can get more information about gravatars, as well as create your own for free, at www.gravatar.com. You can also view my gravatar here.
