Best of the Tableau Web: Server admin tips, custom colors, and the benefits of blogging

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone that contributes to the Tableau community, and this month, I’d like to highlight Lorena Vazquez for her Tableau Server posts on her personal blog. It’s always exciting to see new bloggers, and especially great to see a new blog about Tableau Server. Real cultural change will come when everyone in an organization can and does ask questions with data.

The nitty gritty of promoting growth through a well-managed central service might not be as viscerally exciting as attractive visuals, but it’s equally important. Lorena’s first posts are very interesting for all server administrators and I’m excited to see this blog develop. Are there any other server admins ready to start blogging? What are your stories? What are the tips and tricks you wished you’d known when you started using Tableau?
