If you’re concerned about knowing your sites are up, Host-Tracker is a must-have! All you have to do is register, fill in the sites addresses you want to check and tell it how often you want the site checked (ranges from every minute to every hour - I chose 30 minutes). Then, their [...]

I finally decided to buckle down and learn Mambo. I’ve always found it short on documentation, but they seem to be getting it together lately. And the interface seems to work better than I remember from my last attempt. And I found a really good Mambo tutorial by Anna that really speaks [...]
