Some of you may have already seen the awareness badge on several blogs. This is an effective and easy way to spread awareness. This is an icon displaying our concern against the advertising tax as well as all the states being affected. Please feel free to add this to your blog or site.

The most important thing you can do is link the awareness badge to an educational resource that relates to the advertising tax. There are many you can link to such as:
http://affiliatevoice.com
http://performancemarketingalliance.com
Our Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=77931506576&ref=ts
Affiliate Tax Law Forum: http://forum.abestweb.com/forumdisplay.php?f=543
You can even link to an advocate blog such as Melanie Seery: http://nyaffiliatevoice.com/

Link where you wish, the idea is to spread awareness and education about the harm that the advertising tax causes.

I have added different website links which you can edit. The awareness badge looks like the new facebook group icon but it is flashing with the affected States along with their Bill numbers. A big thanks to Joel Garcia for creating this for us. If you have any ideas on how to help, run with it! Every little bit counts.

As you can see in California we were victorious. We still need to keep an eye on things. As for Minnesota, we need more affiliates in this State to step up. Connie has been working hard and would love some support from other MN affiliates. Please feel free to email me with any questions or ideas.

Thanks and have a great weekend!Thank You Stephanie for the hard work you and the many others that have been putting into this. I’ve posted a badge and pass the word along to some of the local groups I attend.

My particular Foobar reared its face in the form of “invisible images.”
That’s where you open a file and you can see all the layers in the Layers Pallet, but the work area is blank. Just an empty gray background just as if you had not even opened anything.

Ok the fix is much simpler than pulling out the install disk and going through all of that mess. Besides that would require you to save all sorts of plugins, brushes, action scripts, hotkeys, and anything else you have made custom to you give you a more productive and creative workflow.

Just erase your current preferences file and see if that fixes your photoshop woes.
Here’s how:

After starting Photoshop DO NOT WAIT for the the splash screen, and quickly press and hold <Alt><Control><Shift> simultaneously, if you are on a windows system. On a Mac press and hold <Option><Command><Shift>.

That little fix seems to fix about 85% of photoshop woes.

Oh, be sure to note any changes you have set-up in your preferences file, like scratch disk, units & measurements etc. Those are what you are resetting!

Happy Designing…

The following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

At line 56 of file “D:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration\Shared\Common\Scripts\dwscriptsExtData.js”:
ReferenceError: dwscripts is not defined

Well a search on the ole’ google turned up others have been having this trouble for years.

I would like to thank Heidi Bautista and her tip on how to fix this and cyberskillsguide  for helping find those pesky files that I swore were in another folder.

*note: Yes, I did have the hidden files in view mode.

Ok work flow continues, but still wonder what corrupted that file. Maybe a new Extension I added a few days ago…maybe

If this happens to you, hope this helped you out like it did for me.

I have been wanting to get an iPhone for some time now. I am already with ATT and just learned that the plans include "unlimited" internet for about 5 dollars more than I pay now. I have also just learned that the new Gphone named "DREAM" is a go for google.

Main article I read is here

Hmm now I wonder if I’ll just wait and see what shakes out of the competition. The 4 year old razor still works fine.

Now to find out more about the G Gears…..Happy upgrading

There are over 18,000 people following the Mars Updates.

I am and have found it all very captivating. More about Mars and twitter More on Mars Phoenix

I recall watching a special on OPB (oregon’s modified PBS channel) about sending a drone to one of the moons of Saturn. They said getting that kind thing to happen is like throwing a basket ball from NASA in Florida to anywhere in Europe and hitting nothing but net! And it a pricey game to play, with large risks. I’m happy just getting the updates from twitter. Nice and simple.

Now that is compression, Woot!

Once I was there I read over the specs and found that Windows XP is also supported. Sweet! I like the way Vista “looks” but I really need the performance and reliability of XP.

OK, I see that I need to do some “upgrading” to windows before I can use the super-cool functions of Tabs right there in my folders.

I see I need install .NET Framework 2.0

So I head over to Microsoft and download it. At the end of the download and install (2-3 mins. over a cable connection) I get a warning that I should make sure I have the latest updates for the .NET Framework 2.0. After a little hunting on the MS site I see that there is a patch aptly named .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pac1. I download and install that too (2-3 mins on this one also.) Ok great my machine is now ready for the wonders of tabbed folders. Yeah!

I go back the URL provided by MaximumPC and download QT TabBar for Windows XP, create a new folder drop in the zip file and extract the many compressed files therein. I click on the .exe file, a window pops up and asks if I would like to Install or UN-install The QT TabBar. You know the one I click and after the very very quick install I was instructed to immediately log off my pc (not turn off) so I log out and in, causing windows to find the new TabBar application.

I opened a folder to see ab-so-lutel-ly nothing. But I right click up on around the address bar and see a Flyout menu that offers both the QT TabBar and the QT TabButtons. I add them both. (NOTE*) if you can’t add anything then choose the check next to “lock the toolbars” this will allow to to modify your menu options .

NOW open up a folder and if your familiar with Tabs, which I imagine you are if your reading this, the tabs handle very much like FireFox or IE7 tabs.

I think this is very cool for people that often work in multiple directories. Designers, coders, webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Domainers and just about everybody who like s tabs can all use this application to increase productivity and tame the Window’s Start Bar into an orderly array of tabs in one folder window….ahhh the clarity.

Links for all you need below:

1. .NET Framework 2.0
2. .NET Framework 2.0 SP( choose custom and look for it in the list)
3. QT TabBar (plugins skins and more)
4. Time it took-15 mins depending on how techno savvy you are and your download speeds.

Happy file browsing
