Vertical Promoted Links in SharePoint 2013
I had the pleasure of helping out Veronique via SPYam. It’s a great use case for the promoted links list!
SharePoint 2013 has nice little tiles called Promoted Links to link to stuff all over your sites. However, they all display horizontally when you add them to your page. Silly Microsoft for not providing us the option to list them horizontally or vertically in the first place – but thank you SharePoint community for providing the work-around, (and specifically in this case, David Lozzi)! :) I love copy / paste code!!

Post Blog Update : So it seems not everyone is on Yammer. Instructions and code copied and pasted below for your convenience. :)

Navigating multiple calendars in SharePoint
This topic came up over on SharePoint.StackExchange.com, and I thought I'd share here too. You may want to setup a single page to view multiple calendars. Calendar overlay is a great way to handle this, but what if you want to see these side by side, and let the user navigate the dates in unison,... Continue Reading →

I've confirmed this update is available in another tenant, not just... Continue Reading →
