创建母版页步骤 ：
MOSS 要求一个母版页必须包含标题、图标、登陆、搜索等区域和一些基础结构元素包括页面区域、分格栏、边框、控制台和描述文字PlaceHolder。
MOSS提供的母版页需要基于WSS的SPWeb类下的SPWeb.CustomMasterUrl。
建立一个最精简的母版页步骤如下。
step(1): 打开Sharepoint Designer.
step(2): 在文件菜单点击New，选择Sharepiont Content，选择Page 标签。
step(3): 双击母版页来创建一个母版页。
step(4): 选择在设计模式下查看母版页，母版页覆盖了头部和左边的一些区域，几个content placeholders是可见的。
step(5): 选择在代码模式下查看母版页。
step(6): 把下面的代码拷贝并粘贴到母板页中。
<%-- Identifies this page as a .master page written in C# and registers tag prefixes, namespaces, assemblies, and controls. --%><%@ Master language="C#" %>

step(7): 将文件另存为一个.master后缀名的母版页文件到站点集的母版页库(/_catalogs/masterpage)。
翻译说明:实际上在下面的visible=false的pannel中的placeholder都是可选的，根据需要设置这些placeholder的可见性就可以，如果就是一个空白的站点，那么这些placeholder一个都不需要。但要保证其它的结构是正确的。
