Create a Team Site
A team site is a simple site with a
document library, an announcements list, a calendar list, a links list,
a tasks list, and a team discussion board. To create a team site,
select the Team Site template in the Create dialog (refer to Figures 1 and 3)
and fill in the site’s title and URL name (and, if you wish, other
parameters, such as the description, using the More Options button, as
shown in Figures 2 and 3). Then click Create.
Create an Enterprise Wiki Site in SharePoint Server
A wiki site is a site for
managing and sharing information. This type of site is used mostly to
share ideas and knowledge among many people. The Enterprise Wiki Site
template enables users who use the site to easily change the pages and
create new pages. It also comes with a ratings system that allows users
to rate each wiki article and a categories system that enables grouping
of articles by categories.
To create a wiki site, select the Enterprise Wiki Site template (refer to Figure 1),
fill in the parameters for the site as explained earlier in this
chapter, and click Create. When the site is created, it has only one
page, the home page for the site. The page has some default text
explaining what a wiki is. It also has an Edit This Page button on the
top that allows users to edit the content of the page (see Figure 5).
Create a Blog Site
A
blog site is another type of site for sharing information, usually
articles or blog posts. Each article or post is very much like an
announcement, with a title and some text containing the information to
be shared. However, blog posts also offer readers the option to comment
on them, and the posts can be grouped into categories that can be
managed in the blog site itself as a separate list. The layout of a blog
site is customized to show blog tools (such as Manage Posts and Manage
Comments), as shown in Figure 6.
A blog site also offers integration with Microsoft Word to easily
create posts in that application using the Launch Blog Program to Post
link.
To create a blog site, select the Blog option (refer to Figures 1 and 3),
fill in the details, and click Create. After you create the site, the
home page of the blog shows a sample post that explains what a blog is
and displays a list of actions you can perform on the blog, including
creating a new post and managing the posts and comments (refer to Figure 6).
