Update: The Image Upload Web Part has been updated.
Heather Solomon blogged about end-user-focused web parts. (Be sure to look at the comments for links to many others.) All are very valid points.
I have a small but helpful contribution: The ImageUpload Web Part.
On a WSS Team site, the default template has an Image Web Part that displays the Windows Logo. I have never seen this logo on a production site. To change the image is easy enough for users familiar with the Web Part page model: Open the tool pane and change the location of the image. This is where it gets difficult for end-users.
What if the image is on the end-user's computer? Most likely, they email the file to the webmaster/developer. It is then uploaded to web server and the URL emailed back to the user. (Or the webmaster/developer is updating the web part.) More industrious users will post the image to a photo gallery. Some will even determine the URL. But there is an easier way.
The ImageUpload Web Part displays a form with a file upload input box. The end user can click the browse button and select the image. The web part stores the image in a document library and automatically remembers the location (URL) and renders the <IMG> tag correctly.
Download the CAB file and source code.
The web part requires a setting in web.config with the location to store the images. And, the end user must have permission to store items in that library. (This second restriction could be alleviated using impersonation techniques from Todd Bleeker or Victor Vogelpoel or Jay Nathan.)

This article made me laugh out loud:
"In fact, hockey has been fixed, in that veterinarian sort way."
"But since this lockout was all about the 10 or so hard-line owners and their unleashed commissioner getting what they wanted at all costs, hats off to them. Preferably with their heads inside, true, but you get what you can at times like this."

In response to a post in the ASP.Net forums, here is a routine to upload a file to a document library.
Sub ProcessPostedFile(ByVal fileUpload As HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile)
Try
' get the filename and stream
Dim fn As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(fileUpload.PostedFile.FileName)
Dim stm As System.IO.Stream = fileUpload.PostedFile.InputStream
Dim contents(CInt(stm.Length)) As Byte
stm.Read(contents, 0, CInt(stm.Length))
stm.Close()
' get the library path
Dim docLibPath As String = Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("DocUploadPath")
' first, get the site containing the library
Dim site As SPSite = New SPSite(docLibPath)
Dim web As SPWeb = site.OpenWeb
' then get the folder
Dim docFolder As SPFolder = web.GetFolder(docLibPath)
' delete the file if it exists
Dim docFile As SPFile
Try
docFile = docFolder.Files(fn)
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
If Not docFile Is Nothing Then
docFolder.Files.Delete(fn)
End If
' save the file
docFile = docFolder.Files.Add(fn, contents)
Catch ex As Exception
Context.Trace.Warn(ex.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
