Firefox – Download & Rediscover the Web

OS & Applications  2 Comments

The award-winning Web browser from Mozilla is now even faster, more secure, and totally customizable to your online life.

Enjoy a Better Web Experience

There’s a lot to do on the Web, and Firefox is full of helpful features to make your time online more productive.

Improved Tabbed Browsing

We love tabs as much as you do, so Firefox will open new web pages in tabs by default. Each of those tabs has its own close button, but don’t worry – if you accidentally close a tab, just go to the History menu to bring it back from the list of “Recently Closed Tabs.” You’ll never be crunched for space anymore, either. When you have too many tabs open to comfortably fit in a single window, scroll arrows will appear on either side, and a button on the right side will always show you an easy-to-read list of all your open tabs.

Spell Checking

Sometimes you’re in a rush, and can’t remember if it’s “i” before “e” or the other way around. Firefox has built-in spell checking to keep you from making any mistakes in your blog posts and Web-based email, so you can worry about more important things.

Website & Internet  No Comments

Cyber Coral Network posted a good advice for webmasters who wanted to buy web hosting services. It has explanations of why you should NOT choose a hosting provider that include unlimited space or unlimited bandwidth in their hosting package as such things don’t even exist.

Sad but true … I’m sure many many webmasters / customers have been trapped with such offers because people really want unlimited in almost everything in their hosting package as cheap as possible …

Sometime you have to see from the hosting provider’s point of view … The cost to maintain the server, internet connection, etc … It’s not cheap … really …

How to Optimize Gallery2

Tips & Tricks, Website & Internet  2 Comments

I installed the full package of Gallery2 last monday and got all the modules activated. I found out that my gallery was very very very slow :(

Today, I have disabled and deleted some unnecessary modules out of my gallery and it loads a lot faster than before. If you downloaded the full package, you don’t need all the modules in there. Make sure you only upload the necessary modules.

For me, I only use the following modules which I think necessary for my gallery:

  • Captcha – can help to prevent spam comments by bots.
  • URL Rewrite – usefull for friendly url for search engine, but only works with Apache.
  • Gd graphic toolkit – on the fly photo manipulation
  • Image Block – to show random, most viewed, or most recent photo outside your gallery.
  • Sitemap – can help to create sitemap for Google crawlers.
  • Comments – to give visitors the ability to post comments on albums or photos.

You can also enable some additional modules like ImageFrame, Slideshow & Watermark to add more feature into your gallery.
