Everybody may already know how to do this but, I didn't and it was driving me crazy. And, since I will have to make this change again sometime, I'm posting it here. Ever since I switched over to Wordpress, I've been stuck with a two (2) meg file upload limit. I thought this was a bit crazy because I self host this site and have full control over every aspect of the server. Since I don't give myself any limits anywhere else (I'm such a good host) I didn't like having one here either. Or … [Read more...]
Set-up an FTP Server on Windows 2003 Server
Setting up an FTP server on Windows 2003 Server is a pretty simple process. Why would you need an FTP server? Well, if you are hosting websites you might want to allow designers and customers access to their webfolders (not me... no one accesses my server but me but you can.. :-) ) and an FTP server is a great way to allow them access. OR some Commercial Copiers have a scan to FTP or SMB service so, you could install an FTP server to allow a central place to save scanned documents. Needless … [Read more...]
Export Dreamweaver CS4 Site Info
Ninety-nine percent of the time I work on websites for myself and others from the comfort of my home office. I can kick back relax and generally get a lot of work done. Sometimes, however, I need a "Change of local"... The office gets a little confining. Instead of copying the site (or sites) I'm working on from desktop to thumb-drive to laptop, I have devised another method. This may not be the "best" method but, it works quite well for me. (Thank you very much :-) ) First, I make … [Read more...]
CSS – Long URL
This is an older post that did not make it through to the new site when I converted to WordPress. Hopefully this will still be relevant to someone out there. CSS and the Long URL: I was working on a webmail client a while back and had been having a few design problems. Sometimes when you subscribe to a blog, forum or usergroup the e-mails from those respective subscriptions will include an "unsubscribe url". This Blog does. Now this URL can be really long and, in a normal email client … [Read more...]
WordPress and Smileys
I don't know about you but, sometimes on the web (twitter especially) the humor or sarcasm meant in a statement can be lost. So, I always try to add a little smiley so people know I'm not such a big jerk. On a similar front, Wordpress will convert text smileys into their graphic equivalent . The problem is, I can't ever remember what the "Proper" text for the smiley is supposed to be. I did a little searching (via Bing, BTW) and came across this list of smileys that will work with … [Read more...]

Windows 2003 Server does not stream FLV videos
I was having some trouble today getting a flash file to work. I was trying to stream a FLV (Flash video) file and although it was working great on my local machine it would not stream when I loaded it up on my server. The SWF file would play, well.. the controls would come up but the file wouldn't stream.. I waisted a lot of time moving files around and re-making before I found this. Like always, thought I'd share.. Issue: When Flash Player movie files that stream external FLV … [Read more...]
