L ESSON I NTRODUCTION In this course, you will create and configure a Microsoft® SharePoint® team site, and configure administration and collaboration settings. The first step is to create a new SharePoint site. In this lesson, you will create a SharePoint site from a standard SharePoint template and learn how to copy a site that you have created and modified, so that the content structures and features implemented can be reused in other sites. After you create a SharePoint site, you will customize the look and feel of the site, adding logos and other custom graphics to make the site more familiar and attractive to your site users. Modifying the look and feel of a site can not only make a site visually more appealing, but by adding logos and other custom graphic elements, teams can begin to feel a real sense of ownership for the site; in effect, the site can become their home. More than that, graphics and visual options can also reflect the mood and attitude of the team, helping to foster an atmosphere of productivity and collaboration.
