***NOW AVAILABLE*** MSDN: Designing and Developing High-Performance SharePoint Server 2007 Publishing Sites

An article i worked on has recently been published on MSDN. The article, Designing and Developing High-Performance SharePoint Server 2007 Publishing Sites, explains some tips and tricks on getting the most out of your WCM sites built on SharePoint Server 2007.

Here’s the article summary on MSDN:

Learn about the Web Content Management features in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 that enable organizations to deploy Internet-facing publishing sites, and considerations for developers and designers when designing and building high-performance publishing sites.

Glad to see someone's still supporting all those SharePoint 2007 installs running in production versus beta software. :)

Nice blog post. I am currently in the middle of large WCM deployment and this article will help out alot. I attended your speaking event last August at the Indy SharePoint users group and this seems like the same material wrapped up in a nice MSDN article. This will be a big help.

I also have a few questions around this article.

First, in your talk last August at the Indy SharePoint users group, you mentioned an add-on to IIS that could automate image clustering. Do you happen to remember what the product was called or if there is a web site where I can learn more about this product?

Second, in one of the page layouts I am creating the background for the body of the page as a gradiant. So to make my page layout flexable I have created two images. The first image is 900px by 247px and is positioned at the bottom of the page for the start of the gradiant. The second image is a 900px by 1px image that is repeated if the content area is larger than the height of the first image. So to minimize the number of graphics used I would like to clip the first image and us it over an over in CSS and hopfully remove the need for the extra 900px by 1px image.

So in your examples on image clustering I noticed that you used the CLIP CSS command to clip an image. Is there a way to use this CLIP CSS command with a background-image CSS command without using an actual image tag? So far I have been unsuccessful at my attempts and I might need to use two image anyways.

Thanks again.

Craig-
The product is Website Accelerator (http://www.aptimize.com/). As for your quesiton about the background images, I'm not sure the image clustering concept is going to help you at all here.
