The hard disk is probably the most sensitive and weakest component of your computer. It’s also the most important(atleast for me, all my personal and financial info is in it) and if it crashes, you could lose important files, information and pictures and cause unrepairable damage to hard disk. Hard drives only last on average between three and five years. But by performing maintenance, you can significantly increase its life, probably past the point where it becomes obsolete.

The windows operating system has three built in function you can use to increase the life of your hard disk. Disk Defragmenter (defrag) is the most powerful program for routine maintenance. As you create, save and delete files, you leave blank spaces and bits of files or clusters on your hard disk. Defragging relocates files into an orderly structure, reducing the time it takes to process data and which reduces the stress on your hard disk. Another benefit of defragging is improved performance of your hard disk. Many computer professionals recommend defragging once a month.

Our website TheCredence.Com is running on wordpress and after creating many many sites on wordpress, I can safely say that Wordpress is a very versatile tool, and if you use it correctly (by knowing some basics of how links are generated by the Wordpress angine) you can create a simple, fast and east to use Content Management system.

I know- it is a necessary evil. One that not too many developers are skilled at- bug hunting. Bug squishing.

Here, I’ll give you some simple tips and tricks in order to cut down on the amount of time it takes to kill bugs in three simple steps.

There is a very nice thread going at digitalpoint for over a year now. There is script created by the combined effort of the members using Google and yahoo translation services using which you can translate the web pages of your site into as many as 13 languages. The best thing is that search engines will consider the translated pages as new once, so in short your 100 page site will become a 1300 page site!

The url's will also be search engine friendly like /de/this-is-in-german for german translation of the page /this-is-in-german. The script instllation takes only 15 minutes. But try to spend some time in reading the later part of the thread as there are lot's of versions of the script and some people have complained that the script don't work on some server due to curl issue.
