I am looking to create a SharePoint intranet and am trying to determine which type of site collection template will serve us the best. I understand that the Publishing Portal template only allows for the creation of publishing sites in its collection. Does the Collaboration Portal allow for publishing sites to be built in its collection, or only collaboration sites? I'm really find that we will need a variety of different types of sites in the collection which will define our intranet. Any advice from those who have been there (and learned the hard way!) appreciated.There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what your are trying to accomplish.
