Customizing Your Team Site

Most teams want to change their team site right away. As the site owner,

you’ll likely be asked to make these changes. Some of the changes you can

make include adding and removing text and images from the home page and

adding new lists and libraries. You can even change the site’s color scheme

and logo, which I discuss how to do in Chapter 19.

For now, stick to changing the home page. Later chapters in this part walk

you through the process of working with lists and libraries.

Introducing the Ribbon

The header of the SharePoint 2010 team site page boasts the Ribbon. The

Ribbon was introduced in Office 2007 and is a convenient way to display

many menu items in a small amount of screen space.

The Ribbon in SharePoint 2010 features menu items that are relevant to the

kind of page you’re viewing, arranged in tabs. For example, the home page

displays three tabs: Browse, Page, and Publish. You find most of the menu

commands you need to use on the Ribbon, and some Ribbon buttons contain

drop-down lists. Figure 1-7 shows the Ribbon with the Page tab active and the

Edit drop-down list displayed.
