SharePoint 2010 Branding

I’ve been working on SharePoint 2010 for several months now — first SharePoint 2007 and now SharePoint 2010.  My primary focus is on branding the OOTB SharePoint site.  The intention of this blog is to post all of my findings with regards to branding SharePoint, especially SharePoint 2010, which I’m currently working on.  In addition, I will be posting other helpful tips I find as I educate myself on the inner workings on SharePoint 2010.  Besides 2 SharePoint Designer 2007 seminars I took at New Horizons, I’ve had no formal training and am utilizing and and every online resource for learning.
