Fantastic 40 Templates on SharePoint 2010

The "Fantastic 40" templates were created for WSS 3.0.

Microsoft has no plans to upgrade them for SPF 2010, however TechSolutions has migrated many of the templates and made them available here http://www.techsolutions.net/Blog/tabid/65/EntryId/18/Fab-40-for-Sharepoint-Foundation.aspx

Custom MySite Host in SP 2010

If you use the SP 2010 wizard to install SharePoint 2010, you end up getting a site with the name of the server and "my" site collection, all in a single database. The best practice is to delete this web app, which means you will delete the mysite site collection as well.

Steps:

1) Create a new web app - http://sharepoint.mycompany.com
2) Create Site Collection under the web app in step 1
3) Create dedicated MySite Web App - http://mysite.yourcompany.com
4) Create Site Collection My Site Host template under enterprise tab under web app in step 3
