May 28, 2006 - Second Post: New Layout
|
Well, although I do not normally post twice in one day, I felt that it was necessary to explain the layout changes. From now on, the only news article that will appear on this page will be the most recently posted one. The rest of them can be found by clicking on the corresponding news link below. The reason for this change is that I felt that it would benefit me to make this page much less wordy. The feedback that I have received has helped to further promote this idea. So, from now on, the main page will provide a short and simple explaination of the goals for this web site, as well as the most recent news article. I hope that this change further helps to better this web site, as I hope any change I make will do.

May 28, 2006 - Upcoming Changes
|
Well, I have received some feedback, which I will take into account and make the necessary changes. The biggest change is that I am going to begin archiving the news posts by month, so that there isn't as much to look at on the main page. I think that this wil ensure that potential visitors are not deterred by a wordy page. The only additional change is that I have added a new program called Net Tools to the Downloads page, which I definitely recommend taking a look at. I apologize for the slump in updates, and I assure you that this web site is far from inactive. I will continue to update the pages, and there will still be new content added as it becomes available to me. Please, continue to check back because there will be updates.

May 23, 2006 - Closer and Closer
|
The deadline is approaching, but the hits are near my goal of one thousand as well, so we still might make it. Other than that, I have been adding tools to the Downloads page, which I think are very useful. So, feel free to check them out. Otherwise, I want to stress once again the importance of keeping your computer up-to-date. There is a step-by-step guide to using Windows Update in the Tutorials section, but virus definitions, as well as the definitions for your anti-spyware program are also important. You should update the definitions for these programs at least once a day, while checking for Windows Updates once every two weeks or so. That's all for now.

May 20, 2006 - Bigger and Better
|
With over a hundred new visitors coming here every day now, the pressure is greater than ever on me ot make sure that I am doing everything that I possibly can to make sure that my visitors are happy. So, I want to direct everyone's attention to my Contact page. I am issueing an open request to anyone and everyone to send me any feedback on what I can do to make the site better. There are a few plans in the works. The first intention I have is to get rid of my scrolling marque at the top. This will happen when I am able to create a banner for the web site. The next plan is to continue adding files to the Downloads page and Links page. I will also add some things that I have written in Java, JavaScript, C, and a few batch files to the Publications page. Other than that, I am still hoping to raise money through donations so that I can purchase a server. This will allow me to host my web site personally, which will allow me to add many more files much more quickly of any size. Also, I want to remind all of you that if there is a link or program that you think is valuable, that I do not have on this site yet, please feel free to let me know about it. That's all for now.

May 18, 2006 - The Road Ahead
|
Well, it seems as though the site has grown exponentially in popularity by the day. Therefore, I would like to announce that the goal for this web site is to reach 1,000 hits by the end of May. Although it will not be a simple task, I hope that the word of mouth, which has been the main source of promotion so far, will continue to bring new visitors to the web site. This number is unique visitors, so returning visitors will not count towards the running total. I believe that this is a realistic goal, and I hope to see it met. As you can see, I have added new links to the Links page. In fact, I have added about 10 of them today. So, on that note, I want to thank everyone who has helped support this site by referring their friends to it, and I hope to see it continue to grow rapidly.

May 16, 2006 - Tutorials Finally Updated
|
I finally got around to creating some more tutorials for the Tutorials page. They are very simple and easy to understand, but they also contain very useful information for basic users. There have also been some new downloads added to the Downloads page, as well as a few mor elinks added to the Links page. That's all for now, but I will continue to keep everyone posted as to the progress on each page.

May 15, 2006 - 2 Posts in 1 Day
|
Well, I got a lot of work done today. As of this post, the Downloads, Tutorials, Publications, Links, and FAQ pages have all been updated. Although I have not added any new content to any of these pages, except for a new link to the Links page, I have added a table of contents type of organization to all of these pages. I hope that this is just one more of many steps in the right direction towards making this web site as good as it can be.

May 15, 2006 - Organization and Upgrades
|
In case you have been wondering, a few changes have taken place. The first of which is that I am still waiting on the move to the new servers, which I was informed will take place soon. The second is that I have purchased a new gigabit router, which means a more stable connection and more uploading capabilities. The next purchase that i intend to make is a server on which this site will be hosted, but I am hoping for more donations to this web site because servers are not cheap. In other news, I have added some new organization to the Downloads page, so it is now easier to navigate. I will be doing the same to the other pages on this site over the next couple of days. Other than, just continue to check back, as I will continue to update the contents of these pages frequently. Also, should you happen to know of a program or link that would be useful to the visitors of this site, please feel to let me know about it by submitting a form on the Contact page.

May 13, 2006 - Finally, a Publications Update
|
Well, I finally made a HUGE update to the Publications page. There are a lot of registry tweaks that I wrote that allow you to do different things to your Windows registry, which will make various changes to the look and feel of Windows. So, feel free to check them out. I have added a few new files to the Downloads page as well. That's all for now, but keep checking back, as the site will continue to grow rather quickly.

May 7, 2006 - Finally
|
Okay, so this is where we stand. I have just added some awesome new programs to the Downloads page, and also I have added some new links to the Links page that are definitely worth taking a look. I had to scrap the Linux distribution idea for now because the files are not cooperating, but I will try to get back into that when I am placed on the new servers. Until then, keep checking back for new updates, and continue to pass along the word that this site exists.
