Key Points

• Sites are containers for lists, document libraries, and Web pages pre-populated with Web Parts.

• The initial site created in a Windows SharePoint Services site collection is called the top-level site.

• To create a child site, you must navigate to the New SharePoint Site page.

• Don’t use spaces in site names, and keep them short and intuitive.

• Sites are easy to create and secure.

• Only after a site is using unique permissions can you manage its users and SharePoint groups.

• Permission levels are a named collection of permissions.

• All associated permissions are aggregated and the cumulative list of unique permissions apply.

• Each site can have its own theme.

• Sites can be saved as custom templates and immediately be used to create other clone sites in a site collection.

• Some installed Features can be activated at the Site Collection level, while others can be activated on a site-by-site basis.

• Sites can allow or disallow RSS feeds on the lists contained within them.

• Deleting a site sends it to the Recycle Bin in Windows SharePoint Services, from where it can be restored.
