Adding Other Pages
In practice, I find that many users have a hard time navigating among lists and libraries—once they leave the home page, they are easily lost. You can make life easier for those folks by creating additional pages that appear as tabs on the home page, and then add web parts to those pages that summarize key lists and libraries.
The Multipage Meeting Workspace is a simple example of this design: it includes a home page, plus three other pages that appear as tabs next to the Home tab as shown in Figure 3-10. All of the built-in meeting site templates include this feature, though only the multipage template includes sample pages.

Figure 3-10. Meeting site templates include tabbed pages
To use this tabbed approach:
Create a new site based on any of the meeting templates. I'll use the Blank Meeting Workspace site template in this example, and I'll name the site "Construction Project."
Create the lists and libraries that your site will use. In this example, I've created a Drawings library, a Tasks list, and a Calendar.
On the home page, click Site Actions → Add Pages. SharePoint displays the Add Page task pane.
Name the first page "Drawings" and click OK. SharePoint displays the new page in Edit mode.
Drag the Drawings library web part from the task pane onto the Left web part zone. SharePoint adds the library as a web part on the page.
Repeat steps 4 and 5, naming the page "Tasks" ...
