• EPiServer User Picker Property that uses the built-in Membership Browser

  Maybe I have poor Googling skills but I couldn't find a simple user picker property anywhere. We had some examples at work but they involved a custom user control and too much javascript.

  Installed three HP printer drivers and got three different directories in Progam Files (HP, Hewlett_Packard and Hewlett-Packard). This was not the only ugly thing about it though.

• Vary EPiServer cache by all querystring parameters

  I had a EPiServer CMS 5 R2 project where there was a lot of templates lifted in from an older solution. It was very querystring intensive so I needed to get away from specifying each querystring-parameter in the httpCacheVaryByParams setting and still enjoy public caching.
