Separating Host from Domain Name Service... The issue is sometimes a problem particularly if the host offers to register the name for you. The will likely include themselves as the admin which might make it difficult to move the site to a new host. You really want to make sure you *own* your domain, and while most hosts are reputable, there are some

I'd like to reiterate what tclaremont notes about understanding what the data means. Unless you are using a sophicated back end stat pack that uses cookies to identify individual users, the best you can hope for is the number of hits on the server and general information like time, date, IP address, page entered and viewing time. You cannot differentiate

tclaremont has expressed my sentiments exactly. Trying to get my board into the 21st Century has been an extremely frustrating experience. Some of these folks never check e-mail - let alone a community board of some sort. I did use PhPBB as a discussion group and had "password protected" space for just board members. I held a training program and everyone

In choosing a blog service, you may want to consider accessibility issues for people who are using assistive technology to access your blog. Several weeks ago a colleague (who is blind and an AT user) and I hosted two audio web discussions (call the AT Maine Show) all about accessible blogging. I've put a link on one of my websites about some of

I find most people really do not know how to use all of the features that are built into the "modern mail client." As a result, they have all of their messages go into the home folder which they them allow to fill up to the point they start to ignore some messages. That said, even for those of us who know how to make folders and use rules to sort mail

[QUOTE]IE 7 complies with CSS standards, so you will not need to hacks, like previous versions of IE. [/QUOTE] I think a more correct statement is Microsoft has a goal of making IE 7.0 compliant with CSS standards. The latest beta version that is downloadable is doing a much better job of rendering CSS, but according to what I've read, the MS folks

I too am runing Ubuntu on an older machine - a HP Pavilion which is about 6 years old. It does have 512 MB of RAM and a P-III processor and I find Ubuntu runs about as fast as Windows 98 and Office 2000 after a fresh reload. What slows Windows down are all of the plug-ins and extensions that you find yourself collecting over the years - this was particularly

[QUOTE]I can not see why. RSS is XML. You need a way to make the XML. Now true, the CMS systems [and their little brothers, blog generators] do so, but not exclusively... [/QUOTE] Yes, you can take any HTML page and create an XML version of it manually (there is a free plug for Front Page; but it is very clumsy and you need to change the settings on

I may regret responding to this question as I am far from being an expert... To produce RSS code so others can access the content on your organization's website requires that your content is in a dynamic format. That is, it needs to be on a database system and using something like php or asp. Unlike traditional static websites, where the content

Thank you ajaeb. Your information is helpful, but you use a lot of abbreviations and terms i am not familiar with. What is the "DNSBL list?" How do you know what "filter" they are using? What is "smart-host?" I am using GroupMail and a direct connect (not through my provider's SMTP). We have Verizon as our ISP, but mail POP is through our host.
