Short Description
Creating Lists
Best Practice
When creating lists, always create your list without spaces and simply modify the description after the list has been created, to put the spaces back.
Reasons:
1. The URL will be shorter (spaces are changed to %20) so every space adds 3 additional characters
2. The URL will be nicer to look at (see #1, no %20's)
3. If you decide to reference these lists later via SharePoint Designer or .NET, you won't need to deal with thanslating the %20 information in your code, which means you can develop faster
4. It's easy, and takes an extra 10 seconds per list - hardly a big deal, eh? But with a big, long term reward
