<p>So it was bound to happen at some point. I have over 90 websites setup in dreamweaver and have had an occasional error, but this was a new one on me.</p>
<p>	Every time I tried to load Dreamweaver it would get stuck at</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Initializing Extension Data</h2>
<p>Off to find a solution in search and found this nice little gem that fixed it right up.</p>
<hr />
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I have a similar solution in Dreamweaver CS4 Windows.<br />
		The folder in question can be found at /Documents and Settings/[login ID]/Application Data/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4/[language code]/Configuration/SiteCache.<br />
		In my case, I found it sufficient to delete the folder and file for the site I last worked on. When I re-launched Dreamweaver, it automatically rebuilt the cache for just that site.</p>

landing page ideas highly relevant and specific to your website. In<br />
doing so, the tool helps you identify additional advertising<br />
opportunities that aren&#8217;t currently being used in your AdWords ad<br />
campaigns. The tool goes one step further by tailoring the keywords and<br />
other data (such as the amount of competition for the keyword, the<br />
suggested bid, and more) based on your language or country/territory<br />
settings.</p>
<p>Based on your URLs, the Search-based Keyword Tool displays a list of<br />
relevant user queries that have occurred on Google.com (and on other<br />
Google search properties, such as google.co.uk) with some frequency<br />
over the past year; these suggestions can be found under the <strong>Keywords</strong> tab, in the <strong>New keywords related to (site)</strong> section. In the <strong>Keywords related to your search</strong> section, you can see a broad list of keyword ideas that are also relevant, but aren&#8217;t necessarily based on your site.
</p>
<p>The keywords are also organized by category. Click any category<br />
to expand and view its subcategories. If applicable, you&#8217;ll also see<br />
the keywords organized by brand names.</p>
<p><strong>Important note:</strong> We can&#8217;t guarantee that these<br />
keyword suggestions will improve your campaign performance.<br />
Additionally, we reserve the right to disapprove any keywords you add<br />
to your campaigns. You&#8217;re responsible for the keywords you select and<br />
for ensuring that your use of the keywords doesn&#8217;t violate any<br />
applicable laws or our Terms of Service.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The countdown has come and gone and I was way to tired to try and post about this yesterday, or even hold a countdown.<br />The time has arrived that I finally launched this work in progress. It&#8217;s by no means finished, what website is ever finished.<br /><a href="http://www.oregonpublishing.com/"><img style="max-width: 800px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" src="http://www.oregonpublishing.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/op-site.jpg" /></a><br />I lost count of all the different redesigns and mark-ups I went through over the past 2 months. Yeah, that&#8217;s how indecisive I was about putting up one of my own creations to represent such a fine domain name (and my own name!).</p>
<p>The site is coded in CSS and XHTML and validates at the W3C. The site&#8217;s template is constructed into three sections. The PHP is calling includes for the header and footer, while the center portion, where the content changes, is static.</p>
<p>I also have been having my share of fun playing around with the multitude of jQuery scripts &amp; tools and the various plug-ins that can be added to it. The home page use a basic coda-slider that I have added the reflection plug-in to. That may change up to some type of carousal, but I&#8217;m happy with it for now.</p>
<p>I still need to update much of the site with all the resources I use and have found online for domaining, affiliate marketing, designing, and advertising online.</p>
<p>Projects Page: (not up yet as of this posting) There is still the major portion of what <a href="http://www.oregonpublishing.com/">Oregon Publishing</a> will function as in the future: an AD SERVER that targets the state of Oregon, but I&#8217;m still thinking about what plan of action to take and if i&#8217;m limiting myself or not. Niches are good, but I still feel that the potential is great for a national ad sever platform. There are several other projects that will go on the projects page, like what <a href="http://www.eugeneadvertising.com">Eugene Advertising</a> will evolve into&#8230;a business portal and link directory for the city of Eugene, at some point when time and capital allow for growth.</p>
<p>Back to work now. There are still a few lines of code that need to get done <img src='http://www.oregonpublishing.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Oh,&nbsp; if you need to hire me to do your website, or updated it or make it look &#8220;pretty&#8221;, you use either the <a href="https://www.oregonpublishing.com/contact/">Contact</a> page or <a href="https://www.oregonpublishing.com/quote/">Request a Quote</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>FireFox and plugins.</strong></p>
<p>If your not using Firefox I suggest that you switch over, for simply the sake of time.<br />
If you spend a fair amount of time online, <em>and I&#8217;m guessing you do because your reading how to save time by </em><em>clicking less</em>, the extra tools you can plugin to Firefox WILL save you time.<a href="http://www.oregonpublishing.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/clock1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-134 alignleft" title="clock1" src="http://www.oregonpublishing.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/clock1.jpg" alt="" width="114" height="114" /></a></p>
<p><strong>How much time?</strong></p>
<p>Years, ago I didn’t think so much about the time it takes to click, but when your clicking all day long, the less clicks the better.</p>
<p>Our Example of click time:</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s just say we can decrees our clicks on the mouse by 5 less clicks a day using Firefox plugins.<br />
We multiply that by 365 days in a year = 1,825 less clicks<br />
And it takes us about half of a seconds per click (.5 x 912.5 seconds)<br />
We divide that number by 60 (seconds in a minute)<br />
and we find out that by saving only 5 clicks a day<br />
you can reclaim 15 mins and 20 of your life back, Woot!</p>
<p>More plugins = more efficiency, once you know their power.</p>
<p>I was inpired to write this post after reading one of the many many many blog postings out there about FireFox and the power of it&#8217;s 3rd party developers.</p>
<p>Thank you open source and brain-e-acts, and thank you <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/11/05/turn-firefox-3-into-a-blogging-toolbox/">jeff chandler</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I have just spend the last 6 hours learning how to get the <strong>SmitFraud.c  Trojan </strong>off my PC.  Yeah it took that long, mostly because whenever I opened my browser (firefox 2.0.0.3) I would get pop ups via IE browser. That is pretty hardcore.</p>
<p>So I did some more searching /pop ups galore slowing me down/ and found SpyHunter.exe and it said it would kill the SmitFraud. c Trojan. Well I downloaded it, installed it, and ran it. It showed me all the problems this frigging bug dropped in my PC. 14 different Registry changes, 8 .dll files and like 100+  known spyware apps. Fuck me!</p>
<p>I click the remove button and the BUY ME-Full Version button pops up for SpyHunter. and they wanted $30 &#8211; UGH! It never said anything about paying for it. Then I knew this must not be legit. Most fixes are from the <em>concerned  open source community.</em>So I look up SpyHunter and find out they are working with SmitFraud.c in some way.</p>
<p>Great I just dumped more crap in my PC via a claim that they were the fix <img src='http://www.oregonpublishing.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So I hit the Spybot Search &#038; Destroy forums (it was that program that couldn&#8217;t fix this Trojan</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is just a quick post to give praise for a tool that I have been using for 3 years now and it really is a sweet freebie to find out there in the <em>world of FREE stats and long term logs</em>.</p>
<p><span class="mlBodySm"><strong><img align="top" title="market leap" alt="market leap" src="http://www.internetalchemist.com/images/market.gif" /><a href="http://www.marketleap.com/default.htm"><br />
</a></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="mlBodySm"><a href="http://www.marketleap.com/publinkpop/">-Link Popularity Check</a></span></p>
<p><span class="mlBodySm"><a href="http://www.marketleap.com/verify/default.htm">-Keyword       Verification</a></span></p>
<p><span class="mlBodySm"> <a href="http://www.marketleap.com/siteindex/default.htm">-Search       Engine Saturation</a></span></p>
<p>These links look just like the thousands of other tools that are offered on the web. The reason I like these tools is they keep a running log from the first day I used one of the tools on a URL. How cool is that!</p>
<p>I have moved hosted and changed IP addys several times (finding a good host when you first start out causes a bunch of headaches) and these tool just keep a running total of all the URLs I have entered. It&#8217;s nice to look at months and years of link popularity. I have planned months of links strategies &#038; campaigns and I can check back and see how they have done.</p>
<p>Also helps to see what the SERPs are doing out there, and over time. Google and Yahoo stats are, for obvious reasons, Candy for this Webmaster.</p>
<p>So, Next time you buy a site, Reg&#8217;ed a name, or start a link/keywords campaign  maybe you should drop by MarketLeap and just add the URL. It keeps the records for you <img src='http://www.oregonpublishing.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I tried to add an Image to this post, but I have yet to figure that out! haha. I will sooner or later. Hopefully it won&#8217;t take me as long as it took me to start my Blog&#8230;&#8230;.<!-- font<br /--></p>
