The secret is the so-called CEWP (Content Editor Web Part). Basically, you can find an HTML widget on the Skype web site, modify that widget by hand to include various Skype usernames, and then place the HTML into a CEWP part. I'll write up a short posting and put it up at the Diner. I've been slow on posting anyway, this one will give me a quick one. (My problem is that all my other pending posts are way over 1,600 words... and writing short stuff takes work!) Regards Gavin Hi Babeach,

I am intrigued with your WSS/Sharepoint integration of different systems. One question: do you know of any way in which I could place a Skype presence within a WSS 3.0 site? Like a webpart? I tried the IM Live messenger option and it worked, but not the way I need it to. A lot of our users utilize Skype for video/chat and it would be "cool" if I could find a webpart for WSS 3.0 that allows me to do this. A video presence within WSS would greatly enhance our collaboration efforts. I have no programming experience of any kind. What I know I learned from reading. So my programming skills are minimal.

Just wanted to say a big thank you. When I joined my employers in August, they were looking at spending an obscene amount of money on a 3rd party DAM/BAM. Your solution gave me the basis for an in house DAM which performs incredibly well on WSS 3.0. Thanks for sharing amigo. Daryll Hi Gavin

I am a week late accessing the File123-store, and do not see where it could be on FISM (if I was at the correct site). Where can I find this DAM gem template? I wonder if Microsoft's "new" Expression Image has corporate features, or interopability with MOSS. -John It’s now December, 2007.

Can you please either reload the site template to the site or send it to me? (I can load it to the FISM Partners site as well (or you could)). This would be very helpful to us here.

It looks like what you've created would work perfectly for a small marketing and design department within our organization!

That we do. We use a third-party utility called DockIT for batch import. I originally used it for an import (with metadata) of some 20,000 documents when moving from SPS2001 to SPS2003. But it also works with picture libraries. Basically you build a structured data file (csv or excel) that contains the metadata. It will do any supported MOSS field (column) type, including choice fields and keywords. For small uploads we just use the built in tools, for large uploads 20+ pictures, we've used DockIT. I built structured Excel sheets to ease the data entry process and validate data entry. Find it here: http://www.vyapin.com gavin David,
