RavenDB Quick Start Screencast

I have created my first screencast ever! I am probably just being way to critical, but having watched it I noticed a ton of things that I could have done better. I learned a lot and it was fun! So I will probably do more of these in the near future.

How To: Remove or hide the “Site Actions” menu

I came across the request for this from a client I was working with. The client pointed me to some research he found on web (one link from MSDN and another from another blog). After some reading and further research, I found a great post that walks you through doing this.
