By now you would think that I would be out of things to add, but they just keep coming. Here are the next 10 interesting things I have discovered with Sitecore.
51. You can drag a column onto the grid within search dialoges to group the results.

52. You can search for locked items, users, roles etc in their respective dialog boxes.

53. Sitecore has Placeholder Settings which are so easy to setup and allow users to change placeholders from the design interface with the Page Editor. It also allows us to specify which controls you would like to give users the ability to change the placeholders. Simply add a Placeholder Setting item under the Placeholder Settings folder in the Layouts part of the Sitecore Content Tree and make sure the name of the Placeholder Setting matches the name of the Placeholder itself or it won’t work.
54. Clicking on the Warning sign in the Page Editor or the Developer center when you have a presentation component that either doesn’t compile or doesn’t pass validation will pop up the .net exception you are getting with your presentation components. (Mouse over the warning to see the error as well).
55. You can reuse the Telerik RAD control that Sitecore uses for rich text entry in your website as well with the following code (This does require a RAD license) ->
< rade:RadEditor runat=”server” Width=”800px” ID=”WebContent” RadControlsDir=”~/sitecore/shell/RadControls/”> < /rade:RadEditor >
56. You can run your site in LIVE mode by pointing the site node named website to the “master” db. Simply change the “database” attribute to “master” instead of “web”. I would recommend this for a developers environment if you don’t want to waste time on publishing content items just to test code.
57. If you extend the User Data Template to have extra fields they will actually show up in the User Manager by default.
UserFields
58. Going on holidays soon? Easily make another person an admin in the tick of a box instead of giving them your login details.
MakeAdmin
59. You can show more information in the Sitecore Content Tree by right clicking on the bar to the left of the content tree.
QuickAction
60. Are you a content author and want as much screen space as possible? I have two hints for you. Firstly, go the the View Tab and uncheck the “Content Tree” checkbox. Once you have done that, double click on any of the tabs and it will hide the ribbon. Pure content author canvas 
Stay tuned for the remaining 40!
Thanks,
Tim
