As the economy and our markets turn for the worse, numerous entrepreneur are make their way to the blogosphere to cash in on the recession proof “do it yourself” world on eCommerce, they find free and useful tools that they otherwise would not care much about. WordPress is one such invaluable tool that can be used both for blogging as well as powering a full fledged business site. The popularity of WordPress is no doubt attracting many new users and has no doubt risen to the # 1 pick among new entrants and is posed to grow to be the undisputed leader shortly. With popularity comes the need for hosting to support this growing platform. That is where Webhosting Search’s WordPress hosting information comes into play. Wehhosting Search has created a top list of the providers which are the best at supporting this and numerous other tools, which allow the user to harness the full potential of Open Source based software. WordPress hosting is typically a shared hosting platform which means you won’t have to pay a big price for this service.

While the typical WordPress user will look for Unix/Linux based server, Webhosting Search also offers Windows hosting information. Their in-depth reviews of the best web hosting providers will help you before deciding upon the one that will best fit your needs. Windows web hosting is shared as well and with, of course, windows as its platform, something that could also be used to host numerous CMS if that support PHP and MySQL. Webhosting Search offers this free of charge, but if you are not sure of any of the hosts listed in it, you can turn to the real authority on WordPress, and click the “Find a Web Host” link.

When I started helping wpSnap on some of their technical issues last year, I realized that there was a lot of room to improve with the way conditional tags were written and addressed to produce the site that has among other things, featured listings, blogs and other WP themes all meshed into one pile of data in the backend. So when I was asked to redesign¹ the site last month, I went a step ahead and offered to redo the backend as well.

The most prolific of issues on wpSnap (and other multi-author sites) seem to have stemmed from a new feature that was rolled into WordPress version 2.6, which was the creation of a new database table “per edit” to allow the option to rollback in the event the edit was made accidentally. What this does is that it clutters your database and loses the continuity that one would hope with your post ID numbers.

The clean up was a hack of a sort since it is not (yet) an option within the WP Admin panel that lets one turn off the auto save feature, also, since it is not a security issue, there is no reason why this feature/function might ever be reverted.

Aside from that, the conditional tags used were outdated and numerous loose ends that were not tied together, especially in pagination and navigation.

In all, there is no code on wpSnap now that existed per-reboot. We did recycle some graphics, logo, favicon and such. One major addition was the introduction of “OIO Publisher” advertisement management system to the main site and blog.

Also, wpSnap now sports a fresh new grid based visuals using the Blueprint CSS framework, which we have used on all commissioned work this year. Check the screenshot of the old design and compare it with the new look. Also, visit wpSnap and show some love, let them know what you think about the redesign while you are there!

Did you know there are libraries for PC error codes? I did not, and for good reasons because most times when you do encounter errors, you often hit the reset or reboot and off you go. But that changed a while back when I was trying to recover data from an old hardware and ran into numerous issues that were until that point were unknown. That is when I found www.pc-library.com, a free resource for anyone who needs to know anything related to what system error messages actually mean!

With PC Library, I was able to quickly figure out what ports were being used, and the applications that were associated with specific port numbers. My very first issue with my computer trying to connection to the local server was error 1058, which meant the service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. A short update of my drivers got me back on track. Along the way I hit the ominous TCP port 80 errors, making it hard to connect to the Internet.

With each error code, PC Library offered definition of the issue, the possible causes, tools and tips on how to fix the related errors and to speed up the ports to improve hardware performance. The PC Library is constantly updated with the latest information, and organizes it in order to bring us the latest content, tools and information all in one place. A must bookmark site for those who deal with Microsoft servers and hardware.
