22. Master Pages Three ways to build the custom master pages: 1. From scratch 1. Not recommended as SharePoint 2007 needs a few placeholders to be present in the master page or else the pages will not work. 2. From minimal.master 1. Not recommended for a collaboration intranet 2. You want to use OOB features and controls 3. From default.master 1. Recommended as it provides most of the collaborative controls already present on the master page 2. Master page does have a learning curve though
