Microsoft should continue developing Internet Explorer, and Opera and Mozilla should continue developing their alternative browsers. In the end, it is the consumers, me and you, who benefit from better browser that are secure and functional!

I just discovered a pretty cool script for alowing your visitors to bokmark your site. Here is the javascript code: <script language="JavaScript"><!--// ==============================================// Copyright 2003 by jsCode.com// Source: jsCode.com// Author: etLux// Free for all; but please leave in the header.// ==============================================// message to show in non-IE browsersvar txt = "Bookmark Us!"// do not edit below this line// ===========================var url = this.location;var who = document.title;var ver = navigator.appNamevar num = parseInt(navigator.appVersion)if ((ver == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")&&(num >= 4)) { document.write('<A HREF="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite(url,who);" '); document.write('onMouseOver=" window.status=') document.write("txt; return true ") document.write('"onMouseOut=" window.status=') document.write("' '; return true ") document.write('">'+ txt + '</a>')}else{ txt += " (Ctrl+D)" document.write(txt)} //--></script> Script reproduced from http://www.jscode.com/js_auto_bookmark.shtml. I think this works only for IE. Anyone knows of one that works for Mozilla and Netscape too?

If you want your pop-up to appear only once during a visitor's visit (that is less likely to annoy your visitors), you can add this following js script between your HEAD tags: Only alter the variables below: var expDays, var page and var windowprops. leave all other parts unchanged and you should be ok. <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- This script and many more are available free online at --> <!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://www.javascriptsource.com/ --> <!-- Begin var expDays = 1; // number of days the cookie should last var page = "subscribe.htm"; var windowprops = "width=308,height=475,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resiza ble=yes,top=30,left=150"; function GetCookie (name) { var arg = name + "="; var alen = arg.length; var clen = document.cookie.length; var i = 0; while (i < clen) { var j = i + alen; if (document.cookie.substring(i, j) == arg) return getCookieVal (j); i = document.cookie.indexOf(" ", i) + 1; if (i == 0) break; } return null; } function SetCookie (name, value) { var argv = SetCookie.arguments; var argc = SetCookie.arguments.length; var expires = (argc > 2) ? argv[2] : null; var path = (argc > 3) ? argv[3] : null; var domain = (argc > 4) ? argv[4] : null; var secure = (argc > 5) ? argv[5] : false; document.cookie = name + "=" + escape (value) + ((expires == null) ? "" : ("; expires=" + expires.toGMTString())) + ((path == null) ? "" : ("; path=" + path)) + ((domain == null) ? "" : ("; domain=" + domain)) + ((secure == true) ? "; secure" : ""); } function DeleteCookie (name) { var exp = new Date(); exp.setTime (exp.getTime() - 1); var cval = GetCookie (name); document.cookie = name + "=" + cval + "; expires=" + exp.toGMTString(); } var exp = new Date(); exp.setTime(exp.getTime() + (expDays*24*60*60*1000)); function amt(){ var count = GetCookie('count') if(count == null) { SetCookie('count','1') return 1 } else { var newcount = parseInt(count) + 1; DeleteCookie('count') SetCookie('count',newcount,exp) return count } } function getCookieVal(offset) { var endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (";", offset); if (endstr == -1) endstr = document.cookie.length; return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, endstr)); } function checkCount() { var count = GetCookie('count'); if (count == null) { count=1; SetCookie('count', count, exp); window.open(page, "", windowprops); } else { count++; SetCookie('count', count, exp); } } // End --> </script>

I don't like forums where the members made a lot of spam messages, posts which are meaningless and where the posts are poorly-composed to improper english.I also don't like forums where the members post very large grahpic avatars and signiture because the forum will talk a long time to load

To certain websites concerned with copyright issues, Flash is beneficial to them because visitors cannot copy text from their site and infringe on their copyright.

I finally downloaded Moziall Firefox a week ago after being so pissed of with IE for all its vulnerabilities to be exploited by spyware and its not allowing access to important sites like godaddy.com and paypal.com. And I can say Firefox is by far superior to IE: fast, secure, full of features. I dunnoe about Opera though

Unfortunately, the offer has ended. If i'm not wrong, the free.info domain ended at the end of September - just recently

Well, without all these important functions then to me cPanel is vastly superior and useful versus zpanel to a webmaster...but Im sure zpanel is under development and will become better. Then hopefully it can be a free and reliable version of cpanel

A question here, is the .htaccess file supported by all servers? Do all servers recognise it? From your post, I presume that you still have to edit the style of the custom error document? Or do you just need to upload the .htaccess file only?Sorry, Im new to this htacess thing. Looks very useful to me.

I used to use WS_FTP, and I swear that it's a very good FTP software. But i recently reformatted my hard disk, and I found out that there's no free edition of WS FTP anymore. So i switched to FTP Surfer, which is free, easy to use and excellent.

But of course, Xisto is offering free web hosting. If you really want all the great features like a lot of bandwidth and disk space, paid hosting is the way to go. But Xisto is doing an excellent job with its free hosting plans! Agree?

I just went to zpanel website, and the first impression was not good. It does not seem to be actively developed and does not have much support. It seems like a product in the making, whereas cpanel is a very established and developed product. But of course, if it's free, what do you expect.

To advertisers and webmasters, flash is good because it is far superior in catching attention of visitors versus other media like GIF or JPG images. Personally, i can tolerate small, quick falsh animation, but defintely not large and long facniful ones which takes forever to load.

If the study was done on more people, then i would say the results will be more reliable. This would have an impact on the position of your content and advertsiements placed on your sites. you would want people to notice your content and ads first.

Im curious as to whether there're similar software to cpanel out there on the market, so i did a search on google. apparently, cpanel's competitor is Plesk, by SWsoft. Check it out: http://www.parallels.com/ Does anyone knows whther Pleask is better than cpanel? Has anyone used it before?

If you have an account with Xisto, you can easily install phpBB via your cpanel, all it takes is just a clicks, set admin password and username, den the location of the forum, and you're done.

Try entering cPanel at http://forums.xisto.com/cpanel, if it still doesn't work, it's probably a problem with your browser. Try using Mozilla if you're using IE. For me, Mozilla always reaches the sites I cant reach in IE

GIF anf JPEG images are at the center of certain lawsuits filed by the owners of the patents of the compression techniques used in these formats. So maybe to play safe, it would be goof to give PNGS a rty.

Personally, I prefer phpBB as it is easier to customise it, like its appearance and feel, inserting additional texts and so on.But I'll say IPB comes in very close on phpBB

ASP can only be used on Windows server, while PHP can run on any type of sever and is free and open-source. So yes, i do think that PHP is better.

I personally use and would highly recommend Statcounter, a free counter tracking service. It's so much more powerful than other free counters with its advanced visitor reporting and more.

Once you got your account, login to cpanel, then go to "preinstalled Scripts" section. There you'll see a "phpBB" option. Click on that if you want to install phpBB. The cpanel will then install it for you once you've specified an admin username and password and the directory to install the phpbb in.

I don't think the scripts are placed in your cgi-bin folder by default. If you want to use a particular cgi script, i think you have to install those scripts from cpanel (by following simple insructions).

Movable Type is by far the suprior blogging tool on Earth (in my opinion), and i think it does fits all your requirements. System requirements: MT runs on PHP and mySQL, so it's should be OK for you. Security: Although the basic MT package itself is quite lacking in protection against comment and trackback spam, there are many who have written plugins for MT. Some of these plugins include protection against comment spammers. Look-n-feel stuff: MT is template driven. Just change the templates, the CSS styles, and you can change the appearance of your blog easily. No need to update every single page. Calendar, a place to write entries, sidebar, reader comments: all included functions in MT. In fact you can just use any of the templates that come with MT, they have all you need Download MT for free: https://movabletype.org/

I would like to add that if you're running a business site, adding a favicon will strengthen your branding effort. I've seen many of the Internet's major sites and commericlal sites having a favicon, such as BBC, CNN, and so on.Now with this tutorial anyone can add a favicon!
