| Introduction |
Last year I wrote an article on ASPalliance entitled Working
with SharePoint Templates. In that article I explained how we can customize
SharePoint templates to brand your website. For that process you needed to know
lot of stuff and frankly, if you missed any steps, the whole Template would not
work and it would give you errors. With the introduction of Master Pages in
ASP.NET 2.0, Microsoft has utilized the same concept into SharePoint 2007.
Microsoft has also introduced another tool to allow us to build these Master
Pages. In the past it used Microsoft FrontPage. Does it bring back some bad
memories? Hold on, I am not going to explain anything about FrontPage, but
Microsoft changed the tool to be called SharePoint Designer. SharePoint
designer is completely integrated with MOSS. In this article I will explain on
how to create Master Pages to customize the look and feel of the complete
website.

Any way to use Cascading Master pages

Is there a way to use Cascading Master pages? The scenario i have is - the root site will have the default master page, the sub site should be able to use their own Master page. I don't want to copy all the contents from the default Master Page and copy it into the Sub site's master page and then add the new stuff. Rather i want to leave the common stuff in the default master page and create the Sub Site master page with new stuff only. And when a page from the Sub site is rendered it uses the combination of two master pages.
Is this possible??

But this works only for MOSS 2007, for wss v3 what do you have to do to create/add a new Master Page?
For wss v3 in the Site Settings you don't have "Master Page" voice in the "Look and Feel" menù (as explained in the "Assigning your Master Page to your site" section of this article...)

you mentioned in the part about adding the sitemap provider to the web.config file...
siteMapFile="Menu.sitemap"
this makes sense, the only thing I am wondering is
where would I drop my sitemap file at?
Thanks for the excellent resource,
Klibey

Hi,
I think it's about master pages for WSS and MOSS (because you show us snapshots of moss publishing sites)
