Re: help creating subarea templates

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I agree with Milan on using WSS for the client sites each will be much
easier until you get the hang of xml and caml. However, Navigation is still
an issue with WSS, unless you want tree view, breadcrumb, or tabs, the are
not any elegant navigation choices for WSS. Also, you dont get a more full
featured search, topics and my sites.

Note There is a 10 MB quota on the total size of the content you can store
in a site template. You can determine the size of site content by going to
Top-Level Site Administration, and in the Management and Statistics section,
clicking View site usage data.
