SharePoint 2010 Slideshow webpart

SharePoint 2010 Slideshow webpart 
An easy to use out-of-the-box webpart, for creating a slideshow, was missing in SharePoint 2007 but don’t worry SharePoint 2010 is here.
The webpart is easy to use. You have to create a picture library and upload some pictures. You can also create view that you want to show in the webpart. Click on the ‘Edit hero button’ and the site opens in edit mode. Click on ‘Insert’ and ‘Web Part’. Go to the category ‘Media and Content’ and select the slideshow.

FAQ in sharepoint 2010

Simple SharePoint FAQ in 5 Minutes

A common requirement/feature of sites is to have a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section. This is a quick and easy way to provide help to end users. A FAQ is nothing more than a series of questions with their answers.
This can be implemented in a variety of ways but the standard way is to have the question above the answer all on a single page. This isn’t always the best way, but it’s certainly the most common and recognizable way.
Fortunately SharePoint makes this really easy using a custom list and only takes about 5 minutes to setup. This can be done in SharePoint 2007 or 2010 in both MOSS/Server and WSS/Foundation. Here’s the steps:
  1. Create a custom list. Name it FAQ or something.
  2. Edit the Title column and rename it Question.
  3. Add a new Column of type Multi-Line Text and name it Answer
  4. Modify the default view to only show those 2 columns and set the style to Newsletter.
