As in MOSS, SharePoint 2010 (I’m using Beta 2) allows you to create and modify default site templates. Templates that mainly have lists and items presented on them heavily use XSL to drive their look and feel. One of such templates is a Blog template. In this example we’ll create a new SiteTemplate that is based of Blog template and I’ll show you how to make changes to the look of the webparts of the template using XSL.
