When working with websites there are several things you have to consider such as what colors you want to use, how everything is going to be laid out, what programming language you are going to use for dynamic purposes, and of course what fonts to use for the logo, headers, and the main body text.

Usually most of the articles my colorful group of friends post about on Twitter and Facebook can be quite off topic however today I came across an article that made me just about fall out of my chair. I have spent many a night reconditioning troubled computer systems (laptops, desktops, netbooks, etc…) and my absolute favorite is when I need to re-install Windows but there is no optical drive to load the installation CD into. Normally I just bypass this through a couple creative tricks and load everything over the network. This of course makes my network a little crazy for a while not to mention having to tie up one of my other computers to act as the media host. As of today, I don’t believe I will have any more of these headaches as there is now a simply way to turn your USB memory stick (flash drive) into the equivalent of a Windows installation CD.

But the question is, how do you get the content from your DVD into one of these formats that you need? Enter the realm of conversion software. If you have ever done a search on Google, or your search engine of choice, then chances are you were bombarded with 30+ different software websites, countless forum board discussions, and several UseNet type groups all discussing how to go about doing this. More than enough to throw the average user into a state of panic and search overload. » Read the Rest

Web hosting can be quite a wonderful thing once you get it all figured out, especially with all of the neat things you can do. But how do you get to the point where you know what you want and you know what you need? This is where a little bit of research comes into play, but I am going to try to help you out with that a little bit before sending you out into the cyber world. Typically I think it is better to start out broad and narrow your way down. So let’s start with what type of server platform you would like to run, Windows or Linux. » Read the Rest
