Be available for all site templates under SharePoint Hing site collection.

I 've been asked this question twice this week so I thought I wowould document it...

You 've created a new site collection in SharePoint 2010 and chose the publishing site template. when you go to site actions-> new site you only see 'hing Hing site with workflow' and 'enterprise wiki 'as available options. what if you want to create a team site as a subsite?

• Go to site actions-> site settings
• Select 'page layouts and site templates' under look and feel
• Decide whether to make all site templates available ('subsites can use any site template') or choose templates from the 'subsites can only use the following site templates' list
• Click OK

Now when you try to create a new subsite you have access to the site templates you need. Happy hour pointing!
