            <title>What is RSS?</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://www.tildemark.com/images/rss-dummies.jpg"><img alt="rss-dummies.jpg" src="http://www.tildemark.com/images/rss-dummies-thumb-200x250.jpg" class="mt-image-left" style="margin: 0pt 20px 20px 0pt; float: left;" width="200" height="250" /></a></span><b>What is RSS?</b><br />RSS is a document format for reading frequently updated websites in the internet. Similar to other document format like the MS Word documents or the PDF documents, the RSS also needs an interpreter called the "RSS Reader" as the MS Word Application for your MS Word documents and acrobat reader for your PDF documents. Each RSS document is called a "feed" or commonly as RSS Feed. RSS feeds are seen with the icon having an orange background with arcs usually found on the side bar of a blog. <br /><br /><b>How can RSS feed help me?</b><br />RSS are designed to help us read frequently updated websites in just one neat and simple application called the "RSS Reader". I use these programs at home to read my favorite blogs or forum and at work to read the messages from my projects. With this, i do not need to go to each of the websites i often visit just to check for any update but instead the RSS Reader does this for me. RSS Readers really made my life more easier as RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication<br /><br /><b>How do i get RSS?</b><br />You will need an RSS Reader, there are lots of applications that enables you to read RSS documents. Personally, I use the <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/">Google Reader</a> but you might prefer some other applications. Lets just use it because it the only reader use for now. If you have a <a href="http://www.google.com/accounts">Google account</a> then you can use it to read RSS feeds from there. Just click on the "add subscription" link and paste in your RSS feed. Now on the blogs that you read look for the RSS Logo, copy and paste the URL to your favorite RSS Reader in my case its <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/">Google Reader</a>. Some feeds are marked private meaning you will need a password before we could read the contents. Some readers accepts authentication, at the office is use <a href="http://www.sharpreader.net/">Sharp Reader</a> Software.<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://www.tildemark.com/images/rss-logo.jpg"><img alt="rss-logo.jpg" src="http://www.tildemark.com/images/rss-logo-thumb-200x200.jpg" class="mt-image-left" style="margin: 0pt 20px 20px 0pt; float: left;" width="200" height="200" /></a></span><b>How do I know the link I got is RSS?</b><br />The RSS reader is written in plain text, if you will try to open an RSS document with a text editor, you can actually read it but you might have a little more time understanding because of the way its written. The format the RSS document is written is called XML. XML is like an older brother of the other common technical word called HTML. XML and HTML are not the topic here so lets just ignore them for now. You will know its RSS because every RSS feed has this somewhere at the beginning of the document: &lt;?xml version="1.0"&gt; and it has an orange icon with a arcs in it. You can try using <a href="http://www.tildemark.com/index.xml">Tildemark Blogs RSS feed</a> to use is as a sample or maybe subscribe to it. <br /><br /> <div><br /></div>]]></description>

            <title>prevent email spam be using an image email  address</title>
            <description><![CDATA[I hate spam and its everywhere, in the forums, in my comments, emails, and even in blog posts. Email spam is so hard to stop if you don't have a good spam blocker. Once your in, there's no going back. I don't recommend you clicking on the link that says 'click here to unsubscribe' because it only confirms that the email address you are using is indeed active which results to more spam. <br /><br />The most efficient way to battle spam is to avoid them. Don't got to p0rn site, sites that offer pirated software or any illegal stuff. another way is to change your email link into an image. In that way automated programs that harvests email address may not be able to pick it up. A web site that provides an image for your email address called <a href="http://services.nexodyne.com/email/">email icon generator</a> might be useful for you. See some samples below<br /><br />

            <title>Removing google public service ads on adsense</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="public-service-ads.jpg" src="http://www.tildemark.com/images/public-service-ads.jpg" class="mt-image-left" style="margin: 0pt 20px 20px 0pt; float: left;" height="216" width="324" /></span> <div>You usually get this when you first added your adsense codes to your site. Its alright to get this during this time as adsense wasn't able to get a cache of your keywords yet. It may take some time to get revenue generating ads on your site specially if your content has less meaningful keywords in it. According to the google help center, it would take approximately 48 hours to remove the Gulf Hurricane Relief ad on your site. If its been there for weeks then your copy might have some problems in it.<br /><br /><b>Editing robots.txt</b><br />There are several ways to remove the PSA from appearing on your site, but the most efficient way is to change your content. First things first, your robots.txt might have been configured to disallow adsense crawlers from visiting your site. If you are able to edit your robots.txt file, you may add the following code below:<br /><br />User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
<br />Disallow:<br /> <br /><b>Avoid iFrames or Frames</b><br />If you have placed your adsense code in an iFrame then the crawler will have no way of getting relevant keywords thus displaying in the Public&nbsp; Service&nbsp; Ads. Google crawlers will have a hard time figuring out which content to get for the ads inside frames so its best not to place your ads in a separate frame or simply avoid using frames on your site just to be safe.<br /><br /><b>Choose&nbsp; your content wisely</b><br />Content is the most important factor in determining the adsense ads that is displayed on your website. the more content you the greater chances of getting a relevant ad. Make sure you have enough content for the crawler to read. Also, the google crawler can't read images, audio files, flash content, java applets or anything except plain text. If you have a small amount of content and you have set your ads to display only images then this might be the reason for displaying only PSA ads. Try changing your adsense codes to display text and images ads. <br /><br /><b>Negative Keywords</b><br />Avoid negative keywords, this includes anything that is related to d%ath, sickness, p%rnography, dr%gs, etc. At anytime avoid mentioning these words on all of your content, but opps there you go i have just listed them here anyway. <br /><br /><b>Avoid automatic refresh<br /></b>If yous page contains the HTML auto refresh code, it might also be the reason why your site is displaying public service ads. Remove the meta refresh code from your page and observe if the PSA ads have been removed. The meta refresh code looks like this one below, remove them:<br /><br />&lt;meta http-equiv="Refresh"&gt;<br /><br /><b>Adsense ad in a login page</b><br />Placing ads on a page that requires user access does not allow the google crawler to visit the page to get the relevant keywords therefore displaying public service ads instead. Avoid placing adsense code behind a login page. <br /><br /><b>Avoid Session Ids on URLs</b><br />Adsense also relies heavily on the URL to display relevant ads. Having a session id on the url confuses the crawler to ad a relevant keyword because your URL keeps on changing. You may use the input type hidden HTML attribute instead of placing the session id in the urls<br /><br /><b>Unsupported localization</b><br />If you site is displaying other language aside from English then this might be the reason why its displaying public service ads. Here's a list of country currently supported by adsense. <br />Arabic&nbsp; <br />Bulgarian <br />Chinese (simplified) <br />Chinese (traditional) <br />Croatian <br />Czech <br />Danish <br />Dutch <br />English <br />Finnish <br />French <br />German <br />Greek <br />Hebrew <br />Hungarian<br />Italian<br />Japanese<br />Korean<br />Norwegian<br />Polish<br />Portuguese<br />Romanian<br />Russian<br />Serbian<br />Slovak<br />Spanish<br />Swedish<br />Turkish<br /></div>]]></description>

            <title>Formating messages in Basecamp using textile</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Basecamp is using textile to format and display its messages. The following is a list of codes used to modify the look of your messages inside basecamp. <br /><br />You can format the messages in basecamp using the following codes below:<br /><br /><font style="font-size: 1.5625em;"><b>Paragraph Codes</b><br /></font>The following codes are commonly used in composing paragraphs in basecamp, adding in the following codes helps you convey the message you wish to tell and makes it easier to read and understand the context. <br /><br />Header: hn. &lt;text&gt;<br /><b>h1. Header 1</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;h1&gt;Header 1&lt;/h1&gt;</b><br /><br />Blockquote: bq. &lt;text&gt;<br /><b>bq. A block quotation.</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;blockquote&gt;bq. A block quotation.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</b><br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.textpattern.com/help/?item=header" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'popupwindow', 'width=400,height=400,scrollbars,resizable'); return false;"><strong></strong></a>Footnote: fn1. &lt;text&gt;<br /><b>fn1. Footnote text.</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;p id="fn1"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Footnote text.&lt;/p&gt;</b><br /><br />Example:<br />This text has a footnote below[1].<br />fn1. This is the footnote of the text above.<br /><br /><b>Text Alignments</b><br />p&lt;. <em>align left</em><br />
p&gt;. <em>align right</em><br />
p=. <em>centered</em><br />
p&lt;&gt;. <em>justified</em><br />
p(., p((.  <em>left indent 1em, 2em, etc.</em><br />
p). <em>right indent 1em</em><br /><br />Example:<br /><b>p=. This text is centered</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;center&gt;This text is centered&lt;/center&gt;</b><br /><br /><br /><font style="font-size: 1.5625em;"><b>Phrase Codes</b></font><br />These codes below allows us to importance to a portion of our text in basecamp and adding some emphasis to it. We can use either the emphasis or the boldface HTML code when adding some importance to the message we have written. Other HTML code can also be used. <br /><br /><b>Emphasis<br /></b>Prepend and append underscores to the text you wish to be emphasized. <br /><b>_text on emphasis_</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;em&gt;text on emphasis&lt;/em&gt;</b><br /><br />To make italics text we use double underscores<br /><b>__text on italics__</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;i&gt;text on italics&lt;/i&gt;</b><br /><br /><b>Strong emphasis</b><br />Use asterisk to make text appear with strong emphasis<br /><b>*text on strong emphasis*</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;strong&gt;text on strong emphasis&lt;/strong&gt;</b><br /><br />And, use double asterisk to make them apear as boldface<br /><b>**text on boldface**</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;b&gt;text on boldface&lt;/b&gt;</b><br /><br /><b>Citations</b><br />Enclose citation text with double question marks<br /><b>??cited text??</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;cite&gt;cited text&lt;/cite&gt;</b><br /><br /><b>Mark as deleted</b><br />Also called overstrike. Useful in editing copy with multiple versions. <br /><b>-text to be deleted-</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;del&gt;text to be deleted&lt;/del&gt;</b><br /><br /><b>Mark as inserted</b><br />Used mutually with the overstrike tag. Marks the text as newly inserted text. <br /><b>+inserted text+</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;ins&gt;inserted text&lt;/ins&gt;</b><br /><br /><b>Span</b><br />Allows us to customize out text based on color or formating using the CSS standard code. Use the percent symbol to start a span tag. <br /><b>%{color:red}text in red color%</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;span style="color:red;"&gt;text in red color&lt;/span&gt;</b><br /><br /><br /><font style="font-size: 1.25em;"><b><font style="font-size: 1.5625em;">Lists</font></b></font><br />Precede each line with pound sign to make an ordered list like this:<br /><br /><b># line 1<br /># line 2<br /># line 3<br /></b><br />Which becomes,<br /><br /><b>&lt;ol&gt;<br />&lt;li&gt;1 line 1&lt;/li&gt;<br />&lt;li&gt;2 line 2&lt;/li&gt;<br />&lt;li&gt;3 line 3&lt;/li&gt;<br />&lt;/ol&gt;<br /></b>

<br />To make a bulleted list, use the asterisk instead like this:<br /><br /><b>* line 1<br />
* line 2<br />* line 3<br /></b>
<br />Which becomes, <br /><br /><b>&lt;ul&gt;<br />
&lt;li&gt;1 line 1&lt;/li&gt;<br />
&lt;li&gt;2 line 2&lt;/li&gt;<br />

&lt;li&gt;3 line 3&lt;/li&gt;<br />

&lt;/ul&gt;</b><br />
<br />To add a nested list or increase the list indention we add another asterisk link this:<br /><br /><b>* line 1<br />** line 1.1<br />** line 1.2<br />* line 2<br />
* line 3</b><br />

<br />Which becomes<br /><br /><b>&lt;ul&gt;<br />

&lt;li&gt;line 1&lt;/li&gt;<br />&lt;ul&gt;<br />&lt;li&gt;line 1.1&lt;/li&gt;<br />&lt;li&gt;line 1.2&lt;/li&gt;<br />&lt;/ul&gt;<br />&lt;li&gt;line 2&lt;/li&gt;<br />


&lt;li&gt;line 3&lt;/li&gt;<br />


&lt;/ul&gt;</b><br /><br /><font style="font-size: 1.25em;"><b><font style="font-size: 1.25em;">Creating Tables</font></b></font><br />Use the pipe symbol to make tables<br /><br /><b>|This|is|a|table|<br />|with|two|rows|inside|</b><br /><br />is equivalent to <br /><br /><b>&lt;table&gt;<br />&lt;tr&gt;<br />&lt;td&gt;This&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;is&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;a&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;table&lt;/td&gt;<br />&lt;/tr&gt;<br />&lt;tr&gt;<br />&lt;td&gt;with&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;two&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;rows&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;inside&lt;/td&gt;<br />
&lt;/tr&gt;</b><br /><br />

<font style="font-size: 1.5625em;"><b>Inserting Links</b></font><br />Inserting hyperlinks in basecamp is similar to inserting text in wikipedia, just enclose the anchor text with double quotation marks followed by a colon and the url<br /><b>"Tildemark blogs":http://www.tildemark.com</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;a href="http://www.tildemark.com&gt;Tildemark blogs&lt;/a&gt;</b><br /><br /><font style="font-size: 1.5625em;"><b>Inserting Images</b></font><br />Use the exclamation symbol to insert an image into basecamp. <br /><p><b>!http://www.basecamphq.com/images/basecamplogo-small.png!</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;img src="http://www.basecamphq.com/images/basecamplogo-small.png" alt="basecamp logo"/&gt;</b></p><b><br /><font style="font-size: 1.5625em;">Image Links</font></b><br />To make the image clickable we add the link code adding in a colon and the corresponding link.<br /><b>!http://www.basecamphq.com/images/basecamplogo-small.png!:"http://www.basecamphq.com" </b>is equivalent to <b>&lt;a href="http://www.basecamphq.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.basecamphq.com/images/basecamplogo-small.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</b><br /><b><br /></b><font style="font-size: 1.5625em;"><b>Superscripts</b></font><br />Use caret symbol to make superscripts<br />e = m * c ^2^ is equivalent to e = m * c &lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;<br /><br /><font style="font-size: 1.25em;"><b><font style="font-size: 1.25em;">Subscripts</font></b></font><br />Use the tildemark to make subscripts<br /><b>log ~b~ (x) = y</b> is equivalent to <b>log &lt;sub&gt;b&lt;/sub&gt; (x) = y<br /></b><br /><p><font style="font-size: 1.5625em;"><b>Source Codes</b></font><br />

To add source code listing we use the @ symbol<br />

<b>@print "hello world";@</b> is equivalent to <b>&lt;code&gt;print "hello world";&lt;/code&gt;</b></p>More examples with <a href="http://hobix.com/textile/quick.html">textile code for basecamp</a> here.<br /><br /><p>

            <title>Laser for your Eyes</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Do you know that you can use a laser to get your eyes fixed? Well, I found something cool today <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasik">Laser-Assisted in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK)</a> is a high tech surgery that uses light to fix near sightedness. The process is a type of <a href="http://www.refractiveoutcomes.com/">Refractive Surgery</a>

            <title>Smart Bro Wireless modem vs Wifi Range Extender</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>I have recently purchased a USB Network Interface Adapter trying to make it work with my neighbor's wifi hot spot. I'm always mobile so, applying for a dsl subscription is not a good idea. I am working with my pc at home inside a cave to be more specific, I have some trouble connecting to the hotspot which is right beside our house. What is the range of a typical wifi hotspot? </p>

<p>Google is my friend, instead of giving me the range, i found a <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Uni-Directional-WIFI-Range-Extender/">wifi range extender</a> instead. It's so creative with just the following items needed:<br />
1 - Metal Strainer/Steamer<br />
1 - USB WIFI Adaptor<br />
1 - USB Extension Cable (I chose a 10ft long)<br />
½" Drill Bit (I like to use stepper bits for metal)<br />
Gorilla Glue (Epoxy works well too)<br />
2 - Zip Ties</p>

<p>I am tempted and I'm sure I'm going to miss our home strainer. Not sure if it's going to work inside a cave. I tried searching some more and found <a href="http://smart.com.ph/Corporate/Newsroom/SmartBroPlugIt.htm">Smart bros latest wireless modem</a>. It's very tempting, based on the operator's messages, as long as there is a signal from your phone; the modem should work!

            <title>Using IMAP with GMAIL</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>One problem with POP3 mail is that when you are downloading mails and suddenly an error has occurred, when you try to restart your download you will get duplicate mails!!! Now my inbox has over 8000 emails and its about 900MB in size, that would be very hard to manually delete those duplicate emails. </p>

<p>With IMAP hopefully that problem will be resolved since it has two-way syncing capabilities. IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. When using IMAP with GMAIL, all your labeled messages would arrive in folders, that is a label and inside the individual messages with its corresponding marks. Deleting a message in IMAP wont de deleted in GMAIL, you have to move it to the trash or delete it at GMAIL. </p>

<p>You can set your client to work offline to be able to download all your email messages, otherwise on most IMAP clients, it will only download the mail headers. When sending messages from your client creates new labels on GMAIL, they are marked as Sent Messages which indicates that the messages are sent from your mail client. When you create folders on your client they will be treated as label on GMAIL. There folder names which are reserved, they are Chats and Sent, when you try to create a folder with this name on IMAP they have a prefix IMAP/folder name on GMAIL. </p>

<p>Taken from GMAIL help center, <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77657&ctx=sibling">How do actions sync in IMAP?</a> </p>

            <title>IE7 always keep a cache of the visited pages</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>The new version Internet Explorer 7 has a problem in caching of the displayed specially if you are using some ajax applications. Even if you have use the meta tags that specifies no cache, the IE7 would ignore them. </p>

<p>&lt;meta name="pragma" content="no-cache"&gt;<br />
&lt;meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1"&gt;<br />
&lt;meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache"&gt;</p>

<p>The above code does not work on IE7. You could force the browser to remove the cache by manually deleting it or by using the following code below in PHP:</p>

<p>//  choose a date in the past<br />
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");<br />
// set the last modified date to today<br />
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");<br />
// if the browser supports HTTP/1.1<br />
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");<br />
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);<br />
// if the browser supports HTTP/1.0<br />
header("Pragma: no-cache");</p>

<p>Another way is to add the meta tag code below in between your end body tag and your end html tags. It does not conform to the w3c standards, but it works. :D</p>

<p>&lt;/body&gt;<br />
&lt;head&gt;<br />
&lt;meta http-equiv="PRAGMA" content="NO-CACHE" /&gt;<br />
&lt;/head&gt;<br />
&lt;/html&gt;</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="paypal_logo.gif" src="http://www.tildemark.com/images/paypal_logo.gif" width="200" height="50" /></p>

<p><a href="http://www.paypal.com">Paypal</a> is here!. </p>

<p>Here is the <a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_registration-run">registration page</a>. </p>

<p>If you are using paypal for online payments then the Personal account will enough for you, otherwise if you are planning to have an online store you should get the Premier account. Anyway, if you are living in the Philippines like me, even if you have upgraded your account to Premier account, you would still not able to receive any money, maybe just for now.</p>

<p>You may also Apply for the <a href="http://pages.ebay.com.au/paypal/faqs.html#q10">Expanded Use</a> option for just $1.95 to remove your account spend limit, don't worry the $1.95 amount will be refunded after making your first paypal purchase. You will need to enter the 4-digit number on your credit card statement just before the word PAYPAL to verify the use of the Expanded Use option. </p>]]></description>

            <title>No installed service named Apache2</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>If you came across to this error while installing apache2, well, heres the fix. </p>

<p>Goto your apache installation folder its usually at:<br />
<div class="module-code"></p>

<p>C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin<br />
</div></p>

<p>Execute this command: <br />
<div class="module-code"></p>

<p>Apache.exe -k install -n "Apache2"<br />
</div></p>

<p>-k install -- tells apache to install an Apache service<br />
-n "Apache2" -- sets its service name to be Apache2<br />
-k start -- Start Apache server<br />
-k restart -- Tells Apache to do a restart</p>

<p>You can then test your installation by typing in <strong>http://localhost/</strong> to your browser address bar.</p>]]></description>
