First off I'd just like to say im not a blogging expert :PHowever, a unique layout is quite far down on the list of priorites I would say. My advice would be that your blog was- interesting / useful- updated often!The layout comes second, always. Conclusion: if your content is great it will attract people regardless of the 'uniqueness' of the design.Just a few things I suggest :DGood luck with the development of your site!-vacant

That is an INCREDIBY random fact. I shall bear that in mind. Yet MORE info to attract the opposite sex: Did you know that the maker of the blue LED was recently awarded $8 million in compensation, as someone stole his idea? And all for inventing something about 5mm high, too. Nice. Would anyone like to steal my idea of the gold LED?

I use First Page 2000 - free program available at download.com, It's a very good WYGIWYG (What You Get Is What You Get) program. As I do all my own coding its good for the syntax highlighting and color picker. And for images I use Paint Shop Pro 8. Of course Photoshop would be best, but I can't afford that insane price tag, which puts it out of my reach :PCheck out Maxon Cinema 4D for imaging from scratch. Its insane.- Vacant

The above is the quick method. If you want to tweak it even further, this page is very informative: http://www.tweakfactor.com/articles/tweaksfoxtweak/4.html You can select certain performance settings based on your connection and processing speed, for example. And this really does appear to work, however: the method detailed in all of these posts shortens the time taken to load the first bit of the page. The overall page loading time, however, is considerably decreased. I don't notice this being a problem, though. My advice would be just to try it, and see if you like it you can always revert back to the old settings afterwards, obviously.

Which begs the question, why would you want to put your picture on someone else? But then, I am completely unimaginative. Theres probably some perfectly good explanation... Sorry, I cant help you but I am intrigued...

I have indeed. Im just working on the acessing bit

Eminem swears every 17 milliseconds, you cant say that has some deep meaning. All of the "songs" sound exactly the same, and he generally has no respect for anything except for his over-inflated ego. Personally I'll listen to anything with a good catchy beat, mainly punk/alternative like the Offspring. Some of Green Days stuff is ok. Proper music. As you may have guessed, I despise rap and everything it stands for. Just offering my opinion -vacant ________________________________________________________________________ The above was not intended to insult anyone, please dont take anything literally. If you do, I didnt say it and you cant prove anything!

Hey, im looking at a php script to connect to mySQL - it requires the password, username and hostname to connect to the database.Im now looking at it in a very perplexed way.Ive looked on cpanel but I can't see anything like this anywhere.Where can I find this information?If this is nothing to do with you at all I'm very sorry for wasting your time....Please be gentle, im only a n00b Thanks very much guysYou do great work, keep it up!

My friend (and before you say anything, yes it IS a friend, not me) reckons that he downloaded his 7000 or so (copyrighted) music tracks from kazaa "before legal documentation came in" regarding matters of the legality of these downloads. This, according to him, means that he legally downloaded the tracks as there was no law telling him otherwise.What I wondered was....1) Is this true? did downloading copyrighted material for free used to be allowed? Or is he trying to make excuses?2) If this is the case, are the tracks he downloaded "ages ago" legal now?Thanks!If I have it wrong or im talking crap, please dont hesitate to reply, or spam me with PMs!-vacant

Whats so bad about gmail exactly? This has probably been covered before, but I'm intrigued.

A lot of providers do that, such as btinternet accounts. All mail is kept on the servers for 3 years, whether it be incoming or outgoing, regardless of whether its 'deleted' or not. Its a fact. Hotmail does it as well apparently (unconfirmed)That site just wants to pick holes in the system, as far as I'm concerned. It won't stop ME from using my gmail account...

If you have a pirated copy of XP its your own stupid fault, really in my opinion. Theres plenty of ways to get legit software, I don't think you should even be allowed "the most critical updates". Grow up and do it properly.Just a thought: Microsoft can tell if your version of XP is pirated. Presumably they knew this all along, so why dont they just terminate unregistered/pirated versions of XP? Just a thought.... I guess its probably not that simple.

Note that the alt tag only works for images. If you want a tooltip over some text instead, enclose it in the acronym tag, as follows: [br][/br]These are some extremely small <acronym title="buzzword, doesn't really mean much">widgets</acronym>.[br][/br] This will enable an explanation when the word "widgets" is hovered over. If you want to put a similar explanation for a text LINK (instead of just a non hyperlink) use the following: [br][/br]Visit my site at <a href="web-site.tk; title="this is a great site">web-site.tk</a>.[br][/br] So basically, adding "title" to many elements will produce a tooltip, or an explanation of the link which will appear when the item is hovered over. Hope it helped!

They're both very minimalist...but they're both good I think I prefer the second one, mainly because you can't see very much on the first...its too dark. Liking the green on the second, and the random squares. Do you have bigger versions for people to use as wallpaper? eg 1280x1024.

Muse need to lighten up a bit... ALL of their music is very depressing...perhaps its the monotonous voice, yeah that would probably be it Added to that, al of their songs sound the same. I mean, you have to hand it to the guy though... he does have talent.I still have all the albums though... they're not too bad i suppose. More into proper rock and punk myself, but its cool once in a while

your photo section's actually pretty cool! Can't fault it, except for perhaps the fact that its in a fixed width popup window, not suitable for browsers with very low resolution. And the homepage does not match the photo page in any way, which doesnt generally make for a very professional looking design. Just a couple of suggestions good luck with adding future stuff to your site, i shall be checking back there

In my opinion, no website looks as good as it could when the font face is Times New Roman. Change it to Verdana or something, man!

I use CSS for everything it is possible to use it for! I can't see why anyone WOULDNT want to use it on their site. Cascading Style Sheets were introduced to provide cleaner, shorter coding and that is exactly what it does... Some people say its not "backwards compatible", but I mean, at the end of the day if you use an outdated browser its your fault really, isn't it?

Yeah, as the title says. It works properly usually, I am using SmartFTP... i et this Resolving host name vacant.trap17.com... Connecting to (vacant.trap17.com) -> IP: 69.50.188.18 PORT: 21 No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...What's happened? Is there something im missing here?Thanks guys-vacant

Well, I've followed most of the advice here, and thankyou all for your generous offerings of support. Microsoft's info about the blaster worm didn't really apply to me very well, although when I searched the symptoms on google it DID come up with the blaster worm, and gave me information about the variant I had.Apparently, this particular version is set to "self destruct" on Janurary 1st, 2004. Obviously its past that date, but my system clock was wrong. correct the system clock, virus deletes itself. That must be the easiest virus to delete ever...So you all helped, in a roundabout way. Thankyou all, again.Until next time....-VacantEDIT: don't you just hate double posts? Sorry!

I got a premade one at an insane price... Pentium 4 HT, 3.00 GHZ, 512 RAM, 17" TFT flatscreen for just under ?500... otherwise I would have made one. But I don't know how to make one. I think if you make one you can get better part combination, for example on premade one they usually let you down with the choice of graphics cards

Do you reckon I have a virus? It shouldnt be spyware, since I have adaware and spybot SD. My norton subscriptions run out though.... :| Oh dear.

Okay i was having a dilemma... should I put it in "operating systems" or "computer support"... i figured it wasnt actually about an OS necessarily, so I put it here. End of disclaimer...Hey peopleI have a problem. My win XP machine was bought only recently, and up until now it has been reliable, not crashing once. However, in the past few days it has been transformed into one that either:Freezes up for no resonDoes not boot sucessfully, oftenSlows down to an unbearable point (even though it is 3.00 GHZ pentium 4 HT) when only one program is running...Restarts itself when I click on some hyperlinks in internet explorer...As you can see, its not looking too healthy.Is there any reson for this? What has happened, and can I fix it? Thanks very much in advance...(( I can see some microsoft jokes coming my way! ))

Ah, you must be referring to the game on a console. I played it on the PC and it was brilliant, carmageddon 2 it was. But I played it on an N64 or something and it was shocking, the graphics were worse and the whole game was smaller. The handling of the cars was rubbish too...but i think thats cos i just dont "do" game-pad things. Don't have a console myself, go PC!
