Using Content Query Web Part as a Table of Contents

The table of contents web part can be useful to display sub-sites and pages in a section. However, there is no option to display the description of these pages, so that visitors to the section can understand what the sites/pages contain. This is where the Content Query Web Part is very useful.

Step 1 - Add the Content Query Web Part to the section where you want to display a table of contents.

Step 2 - Edit the web part and select the relevant site and subsites to be displayed.


Step 3 - you may also select the following settings:


Step 4: Finally, you may also want to populate all default pages with a relevant title and description.

You can play around a little with how this looks but unfortunately there are limited default style options.

Accessibility Kit for SharePoint (AKS) 1.0

Since accessibility is very much part of what we have been providing our clients, we wanted to share information about the Accessibility Kit for SharePoint (AKS), which is available at http://www.codeplex.com/AKS. The AKS provides templates, master pages, controls, and web parts along with technical technical documentation that enable designers and developers to advance the accessibility of MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0 based web sites and applications.

Remember this is as Microsoft describes "a set of building blocks rather than an end-to-end solution". Read more about this on:
