My solutions for SharePoint end users are regularly relayed on forums, twitter and SharePoint blogs. The past two months have been particularly active, and I have identified 15 posts that mention Path to SharePoint. I am listing them below, some of them are definitely worth a look.
The SharePoint User Toolkit
The SharePoint User Toolkit: a first step toward advanced SharePoint customization
Get the Point is the official blog of the Microsoft SharePoint End-User Content Team. This article written by me describes the main solutions currently available in the Toolkit, and what’ s special about each. Big thanks to Renée Smith for giving me this opportunity to spread the word!

In Russian, a review of the solutions available in the Toolkit.
The Easy Tabs
The popular Easy Tabs have seen a new release compatible with SP 2010 this Summer.
Easy Tabs Rock – v5 Beta is looking really good
A very well written post, by SharePoint MVP Sean Wallbridge, with lots of screenshots – definitely worth checking out! Note that v5 beta has since become the official v5.
Use Easy Tabs 5.0 to consolidate lists, Web Parts, and calendars
Obviously Renée Smith thinks that Sean’s explanations are better than mine. Oh well, she is right!
SharePoint filtering with web part connections
The Easy Tabs in context: Kerri Abraham shows how to combine Web Part connections and Easy Tabs to make content more accessible. A very useful post!
Using EasyTabs with Filtered DVWPs to Make Data Manageable
Another example from EndUserSharePoint.com, by Jim Bob Howard, where filtering and Easy Tabs combine for better readability. Note that the post is actually part of a long series on the Data View Web Part.
The HTML Calculated Column
KPI’s without SharePoint Enterprise (on a budget)
A review of KPI options for SharePoint if you don’t have MOSS Enterprise.
How to create a Gantt chart in SharePoint
Two years ago, I showed how to build simple Gantt charts using the HTML Calculated Column. Linda Chapman describes a more complete solution in her post.
This week, Ben Schlaepfer left a comment on my blog about another solution using the same method (Ben, we are looking forward to your article!).
HTML in een berekende kolom
The HTML Calculated Column explained in Dutch by Gene Vangampelaere.

A mention of my solutions, as workaround when you don’t have server access.
Hi Christophe,
Haven’t had the time to write up a tutorial but have just created two .stp files (one for 2007 and one for 2010) these contain the solution and supporting graphic file.
I am newbie to 2010 so I just found out you cannot create a list from a 2007 (v3) .stp template on 2010 (v4) 😦
Anyway they files are here for people that are interested in seeing this in action:

http://www.mode2.com/PseudoGantt2010.stp
And the original screengrab is here (in case you missed it!):
Will cross post this comment onto your “My solutions spotted in the blogosphere” post for completeness.
If anyone wants the Photoshop file and the pixel font used for the year timeline then post here and I’ll make them available.
Cheers
Ben
Sorry all – my webserver doesn’t like .stp files – I have renamed to .txt so right click these Links and Save As, then change the extension back to .stp
