Download of Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 Upgrade

admin — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 20:24:13 +0000

You want to download Internet Explorer 8 and think the upgrade will cause you no harm, while it won’t it annoys web programmers who have to make sure their website template fits for the mass of browsers out there. By you using the download of Internet Explorer 8, some websites may not work for you. Why? Because different browsers interpret websites differently.

Meanwhile, website designers, and even us bloggers have to make sure our template works for all the browsers, mobile browsers, firefox, opera, exporer, safari, you name it. So I’d love to say please don’t download internet explorer 8, I might have to change code in my theme, but fortunately, I don’t have that problem. It’s the other sites out there using older templates, that might get messed up from the download of Internet Explorer 8.

My advice? If you notice new browsers causing you trouble, upgrade your theme once in awhile. Tweak the template and use templates that use basic commands found in most browsers.

If you haven’t upgraded to Explorer 8, Get it Here

Apple Brick Photos Online, Review Of Apple Brick

Apple does it again with the Apple Brick, a laptop with two screens and no keyboard (just look at the Apple Brick Photos!) Instead of the keyboard we get a touch screen! Just how is this gonna work? Already like the Apple Brick, Apple opted to include no slide out keyword with the Apple iPhone and touch.

Even better is the way that the Apple Brick can be even used as a book, by holding the Apple Brick the way you would read a book. Apple is experimenting even more heavily with touch screens and this should change the way we use laptops.

4 Free Wordpress MySQL Hosting Solutions

Nick — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 16:01:15 +0000

The following 4 hosts offer free wordpress mysql hosting without any popup ads.Â Keep in mind that most free worpdress mysql hosting solutions are limited on bandwidth, so if you have a highly trafficked website, you are most likely better off purchasing hosting with a reliable server.

Award Space: I just signed up for award space today. The give you 5000 MB of bandwidth (not much), DiskSpace: 200 MB, and of course Mysql. They also give u a free subdomain that looks a bit like yousite.byethost11.com

Bytehost: 20000 MB – 30000 MB of bandwidth, (a decent size), no forced ads, 100 mbs of diskspace and of course a free mysql.

Webmaster Networks: Monthly Bandwidth: 1000 MB transfer per month, Mysql, no foced ads.

Free Domain Site: This might be the best option yet, with unmetered monthly usage, 1000 mbs of diskspace, and of course no banner ads.

Overall I’d choose free domain site with its unmetered usage for my free wordpress mysql hosting, but I can’t guarantee how fast any of these servers are even going to be.
