“So, where do I find how to do that ?”, is a question I have been asking a lot recently.

I was thrown, or threw myself, into this new role in a new part of the organisation with a hope that things would be different and everything I needed to know would have been drawn together and safely stored in one place.

Alas, that’s not the case and I find myself again turning to a Wiki to sort out just how things have to be done and where all the information is.

This time I’m trying to be good and play within the corporate rules. That means using Microsoft products and Sharepoint.

Let’s be clear. One thing Sharepoint isn’t is a Wiki engine. Gone are the days of MediaWiki and the ease of editing the HTML. Embedding images seem to be hard enough. Working out just why this paragraph has a different line spacing from the one about (and how to fix it with the half dozen editing buttons that you are allowed) would try the patience of a saint.

But, it is on a corporate server which should be loved and cared for and maybe one day will be upgraded to a later version of Sharepoint which allows you to do all things we used to do.

Something tells me the bigger issue will be getting other people to put things into it …
