from Microsoft you can ... You can move individual list items or entire subsites to another subsite within the site collection. A subsite can be moved to be directly under the top level in the site collection hierarchy or under another subsite in the site collection hierarchy. When you move a subsite, all of the content in the subsite is moved. However, you cannot move only a list (for example, only the Documents library) to another subsite. ...

also if you are a site owner in two sites in the same site collection you can move items

I logged into the SQL server opened the mapped windows account by opening the following:
SQL server>Security>Logins>DOMAIN\SP_Service
Right click on account select properties. From there go to ‘User Mapping’ and check the target database and add db_owner and public permission set for that user. In addition I added the account ‘DOMAIN\SP_Service’ as the default Schema. Your mileage may vary but you get the idea. Just fill in your domain info as needed.  IISReset Followed

Thanks Tiffany - Really cool trick people ask me to show them is when you are editing a Page, you can hyperlink a picture.  Once you add the picture, select the picture and click link...add the link.  BUT then it comes up with this ugly brown border.  To remove the border, go to Edit Page>HTML>Edit HTML Source...right before it says style="margin...add border="0"...click Ok and walla!  No more border.  This is also where you can do the scrolling marquee
