How to rename the web site?

>>I have a new installation of Sharepoint. Before we start using it, I would like the site to be more meaningful than http://server08/site.>>I would like to change the name so that is is something like http://mysite/site.

Answer:
There are several ways of how to rename Web Site. You can use stsadm -o renameweb command. More details are in MSDN article. But this command does't help you if you want to rename the site with the port. For example if you have http://server08:88/site and want to rename it to new name with the default port then the best way is to create the new site, and then use stsadm -o export/import to move the content between sites.

Example
The following example uses the following site: http://server_name/sites/site_name/subsite_name.
To rename a URL using the newname parameter, use the following syntax:
stsadm -o renameweb -url http://server_name/sites/site_name/subsite_name -newname NewWeb
The URL of the subsite would become http://server_name/sites/site_name/NewWeb.

Modifying the second level navigation arrow image

Open your master page. Switch to Code View. Search for "TopNavigationMenu". This should take you to the global navigation (top nav) instance of AspMenu. Using Intellisense in the code view, or using the Properties pane, add the following property to the AspMenu tag: DynamicPopOutImageUrl="insert image URL/path here"So your code should look like: Runat="server" DataSourceID="topSiteMap" DynamicPopOutImageUrl="/images/myimage.gif" >
