Recently I decided to format my computer and reinstall XP.So everything was working fine until I tried to start Windows Update it gave me a " The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view " error.
Turns out there's a really easy fix if you're on Windows XP sp2 just download:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/WindowsUpdate/redist/standalone/7.4.7600.226/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe
and install it.A reboot might be required.If you don't want to reboot you can try stopping the services you just updated yourself.
If you want to stop the services manually go to Run and type in net stop wuauserv then go to run again and type in net stop bits after you've done that go ahead and start up the services again net start wuauserv and net start bits.
Start your Windows Update again and it should be working fine. 

http://www.passwordmeter.com/ is a great website to use if you need a good view on your passwords' strenght and where it needs to be improved.

For me it gives the most accurate and useful information you can get online.

I've been coming across this quite often lately and I figured out that for some reason when a video is embedded in another site there's never a problem with playback.So for example we'll use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh9XwSgCigc which is not loading for me.

You can share it to your facebook or google+ or you can simply replace the part that says  youtube.com to endlessvideo.com and that will take you to a site that loops videos on YouTube or specific parts of them down to a second in lenght.
As you can see the video loaded.Also you can use that to get around the age verification on youtube if you're at a friends house for example and don't want to log onto your google account.
Hope that helps!

You might be using blogger and wondering why your site doesn't get to the top results on google and other people's sites do.Well you're in luck in this tutorial I'll show you how to add a sitemap so google can crawl and index your pages faster and therefore rate your website higher.Let's get started.
First off you need a Google Webmaster Tools Account.You can get one by going to:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/
Once you're logged in select your blog and go to the Optimization tab then Sitemaps.If you're using Blogger there's a default sitemap at www.yoursite.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml otherwise you'd have to create your own.I might cover that in an upcoming tutorial but for now click ADD/TEST SITEMAP and put in sitemap.xml , test it just to make sure if it comes up with the number of posts you've made on your blog it's all working good.Go ahead an submit the sitemap.

Again it should come up with the numbers of posts/pages you have on your site.You can check the progress of your pages on the bottom right where it says Indexed also if there's any issues with your website.Now the only thing left to do is wait.

I took a bit of a break these past few weeks but now I'm back to blogging.I decided to do this tutorial because I think it's useful and not many people know how to do it.So here's a way to get rid of the white background instead of using the magic wand tool.
Let's get started.So I googled a random pic of a cat and ended up with this guy.

So once you have your picture opened in photoshop go ahead and unlock the background by double clicking on the background layer and clicking ok.
Make sure your brush color is set to white or any other color the background may be.
Once that's done go up to Select then Color Range... 
This little window will pop up.Play around with the fuzziness until only the "shadow" of your object remains.Basically only the dark parts of your image will remain.
Click OK then the background around your object/s will be selected.Hit CTRL + X and you're done.If there's more white around the object do it over until you get the result you're looking for.
That's the result.

FileZilla  is an Open Source FTP client for Windows , MAC OS X and GNU/Linux.You can download it at:
http://filezilla-project.org/

Just use your login credentials and you have full control of your FTP server in an easy to use environment.
I'll be doing some tutorials on WordPress in the near future , as  you can see I have it on my webserver.

To get a Random Post button on your blogger website first login to your blogger dashboard , then navigate to your blog , go to layout then add a gadget.Find HTML/JavaScript under Basic and click the plus sign next to it.Name it Random Post or whatever you want it doesn't matter because the name of the button is in the script itself this is just so you know what gadget it is.

<div id="myLuckyPost"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> function showLucky(root){ var feed = root.feed; var entries = feed.entry || []; var entry = feed.entry[0]; for (var j = 0; j < entry.link.length; ++j){if (entry.link[j].rel == 'alternate'){window.location = entry.link[j].href;}}} function fetchLuck(luck){ script = document.createElement('script'); script.src = '/feeds/posts/summary?start-index='+luck+'&max-results=1&alt=json-in-script&callback=showLucky'; script.type = 'text/javascript'; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script); } function feelingLucky(root){ var feed = root.feed; var total = parseInt(feed.openSearch$totalResults.$t,10); var luckyNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*total);luckyNumber++; a = document.createElement('a'); a.href = '#random'; a.rel = luckyNumber; a.onclick = function(){fetchLuck(this.rel);}; a.innerHTML = 'View Random Post'; document.getElementById('myLuckyPost').appendChild(a); } </script> <script src="/feeds/posts/summary?max-results=0&alt=json-in-script&callback=feelingLucky"></script>

Paste this script in where it says content , save it and move it to wherever you want it to be on your blog.To change what the button says just replace View Random Post in the script I've made it bold so it's easier to find.
