Guest appearance on the GeekSpeak Internet Radio Show

I’ve been invited to do a return guest spot on MSDN’s GeekSpeak Internet radio show August 6, 2008.  The show is broadcast every Wednesday from 12:00-1:00PM Pacific time (3:00-4:00PM Eastern).  I’ll be talking about Branding using master pages in SharePoint.  The abstract for the talk and registration link are listed below.

Making SharePoint not look like SharePoint – SharePoint’s use of ASP.NET master pages makes it possible to completely change the branding of your SharePoint site to match your existing corporate branding.  In this geekSpeak, Paul Stork will demonstrate how to convert a sample web page from an existing corporate Web site into a master page for SharePoint.  The new master page will then be applied to a SharePoint site completely changing the look and feel to match the existing web page.  Join us to see how SharePoint’s use of master pages can make branding your SharePoint site possible.
