Setting up Wordpress
Comments OffIn the last few blog post we talked about:
Now we can talk about setting up Wordpress, although this probably won’t be a long topic. I feel it is necessary to help people feel less stressed in setting up a blog. Most of my family don’t have a clue how I set mine up, and I am thinking they are uncomfortable because this is foreign to them. I intend to try to easy everyone’s stress levels by explaining it in a more relax atmosphere.
As most people will know I started my blog 3 Years ago, and haven’t stop blogging sense. Some would call this what a blogger does. I call this an experience, because what I’ve learned over the last three years is priceless. As you can tell when I started my blog I was clueless about how to blog. Over the 3 years I’ve learned a lot and a glad to be part of the blogging community. It’s been a long process but a really fruitful one.

The Important Windows patches Released Today
Comments OffAs many of you know we talked about the Non-critical patches that Microsoft will release today. IF you want to read those please go and check it out. I’ll be talking about the REALLY important ones that Microsoft has kept tight until now. These are the more important ones but I will list the ones that I previous talked about to better help people recognize the non-important ones:
These are just the tip of the iceberg. although this list are not A lot. I’d wanted to let people know about what people coin “Exploit Wednesday“. I really don’t know if this is a Myth or actually does exist but I’d figure we discuss the problems associated with installing the critical updates and try to tell you which ones should be installed As soon as possible. Though people have in the past used a Virtual Machine to see if there is any problem, that should be your first step if you don’t want to have any problems with these updates. I don’t suggest testing it more than a couple days. Here are some good Virtual Machine software to try out yourself:
Vista and BSOD
Comments OffI wanted to talk about Vista and the terrible BSOD scenarios that I have found around the network. I also want to talk about them to a point. So I went through and look and here is what I found:
- NVidia Graphics Drivers — That should be well fixed by now. I don’t have an NVidia Computer with Vista on it and can’t say one way or the other. I do know that recently they added new graphics drivers for Vista and are out. That alone should fix most of the problems.
- Vista’s Blue Screen of Death — This little website has some great information on the causes and fix for them.
- Installing two Anti-virus Softwares in Vista – it is a Kernel and Memory Protection that causes that. I also think they are right about it. You can’t have two programs try to use the kernel and the same memory spot. See Episode BOL Episode 793
Here are a few of them that I could find out lately. Most of the Blue Screen of Deaths for VIsta should be over with. Since the Release of Vista SP1, Microsoft has issued driver fixes and program compatibilities with that release.
