A few months ago my friend Kimbers Shepard from TechTarget  approached me to start writing some articles for their SearchExchange online magazine.  Now mind you i have in the past subscribed to many of the different magazines these guys offer such as SearchWindows, SearchSecurity, Search Exchange..... as before SharePoint I was Bobby the Tech Boy.  You know.... they guy that wore many different hats and was a Jack of all, master of.... (some ok?).   Anyway when Kimbers asked i was like huh?  SharePoint living in the Exchange camp?  Take a trip back in history with me,  Exchange once was the collaborative end all be all... before SharePoint reared its magnificent head.  So i was agreeable to do this but under one condition... they seriously consider look at spinning up a SearchSharePoint magazine as well in the future.  This is being worked on and discussed as you read this.

My first article "Improve SharePoint 2007 Design and Navigation with Managed Paths"

"Managed paths give Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 administrators a powerful, yet easy mechanism for building a corporation's collaboration environment. But proper planning that includes an understanding of the needs of all business groups is crucial to the execution of a successful SharePoint design and taxonomy structure. This tip explains what managed paths are, the benefits of using them, and how to define and implement managed paths in a Microsoft SharePoint 2007 portal. "

Enjoy!
