Publishing and Approving the Master Page

If you have created the Master Page and assigned it to the site, you might be able to view the contents in the new Master Page. Yes, it does work because you might be the administrator on the site. But if you ask the users/some other person to try it, the pages will not display the same Master Page. In SharePoint 2007 you need to approve the Master Page in order for everyone to view it. If you have the approval rights you can go ahead and approve the design or request the appropriate person to approve it.

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)
