I have successfully implemented wordpress blogs on our new Intranet system. Recently a teacher brought Wordpress Mu to my attention. We run a windows system with php running on IIS.  I know that WPMU will not run on IIS right out of the box on a IIS system because it requires url rewriting. I have found a fix for this however I am having problems installing it still. I successfully manged to install this WPMU on a apache server with php and mysql.

I will be testing in the upcoming weeks to see how it performs. I will need to migrate all content from the current intranet in order to keep the migration smooth. With the current Intranet, I find it difficult to administrate all blogs. It seems with WPMU, the task of doing that becomes significantly simple.

I will update more as I get more into it.

Hello, today you will learn how to add a default value such as “select a value” to the top of your bound dropdown list in vb.net. I am not going to show you how to bind your dropdown list, you can do that by searching this in google if you do not know how to do this.

After your dropdown list has been bound, you should use the following code after you close your connection to the database.

Dim Item As ListItem = New ListItem
Item.Text = “select a value”
Item.Value = “0″
Item.Selected = True
BoundDropDownList.Items.Insert(0, Item)

Hope this helps.

So you want to learn how to create HTML Lists? That’s why you are here right?

Here is a list of HTML list tags you can use.

Here is an example of an unordered list.

An unordered list starts with the <ul> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag.

<ul>
<li>Hockey</li>
<li>Football</li>
</ul>

Result

• Hockey
• Football

<ol>
<li>Hockey</li>
<li>Football</li>
</ol>

Result

1. Hockey
2. Football

Experiment with the other tags to see what you get. Good luck.

MeasureIt is an extension for Firefox that allows you, the broswer user, to measure any area of your screen. It helps greatly if you are a web designer creating a webpage. I have used it to get exact mesurements of a banner or picture. The units are measured in pixals and are displayed as you drag your mouse over an area. The extension can be download from the Firefox Add-on page or by clicking here.

Back in the days of classic ASP, if you were building a database-driven web site, your choice was either to invest a lot of money to get a copy of Microsoft SQL Server (or some othe enterprise-ready database) or invest a lot of time finding a way to deal with the performance and scalability limitations of Microsoft Access. Luckily these days there’s another viable alternative: MySQL.

A PHP switch statement is almost like an IF statement except it is good to use a switch statement when you want to compare many results on the same variable.

Example with integer.

Example with a string.
