How to Use WordPressIn Feburary 2016 24,
In Feburary 2016 24,
Go to your hosting company's website and log into your account. Make sure you are at the control panel of your user profile once you are logged in.
Scroll through the control panel or profile options until you see WordPress. Depending on what type of hosting service you have it will be listed in the 'Software/Services' section of the control panel.
Click on the WordPress icon and choose whether you want to install a new version or import an existing installation.
Check you email for a message from WordPress with your user name and password. This is what you will use to access your WordPress account. You may always have the option to change the default generated password into your own code.
Log into your WordPress account. Click 'Appearance on the left hand toolbar and select 'Add New Themes. Choose which theme options you want and click 'Find Themes' to find a theme.

How to Create a Website for a Retail BusinessIn Feburary 2016 24,
In Feburary 2016 24,
Purchase a domain name from a Web registrar or website hosting company such as GoDaddy, JustHost.com or HostGator. Make your domain name similar to your store name if you already have a traditional brick-and-mortar retail shop. Alternatively, try to think of a brandable domain name---one that is short so that customers will remember it.
Purchase a website hosting subscription from a hosting company. Look for a Web hosting service that o contains a one-click system for installing scripts and includes free eCommerce shopping carts, such as Fantastico. For Web hosting plans, most retail businesses need to invest $10 to $20 for a monthly subscription plan (as of 2010).
Decide on an eCommerce shopping cart program. Both free and paid versions of website shopping carts exist. Free programs include Zen Cart and osCommerce, while paid ones include BigCommerce and X-Cart Pro.
Log in to your Web hosting control panel. Upload and install the eCommerce shopping cart program to your website. Create a username and password for the program's administration side.
Shopping Cart Setup
Log in to the administration side of your retail shopping cart website. Familiarize yourself with the user control panel, inventory control system, catalog and product manager as well as the different checkout features like online discounts and coupons.
Edit the layout design of your shopping cart program, and customize your retail store's appearance through the shopping cart administration panel. Most shopping cart software comes with several layout templates you can choose from, which will show featured items and/or allow you to rearrange the main sections and sidebars of your site. These website design capabilities should also provide you with the ability to upload an image of your store logo and your website header.
Create product categories and organize your product listings. Organize and name your categories using main and sub-categories. For example, an apparel retail business may have main product categories such as Men's Clothing, Women's Clothing and Children's Clothing.
Create product listings for each category. Give each product a name and an accurate description, explaining each in terms of size, color and other important features. Also set prices, quantities available and other relevant details such as product weight for shipping purposes.
Edit the shipping module section. Set either a flat-rate shipping price for all orders or make shipping rates order- and weight-dependent. Add shipping vendors that you'll use to fulfill orders such as United States Postal Service, United Parcel Service and FedEx.
Customize the payment section of your site to integrate payment gateways. Add your PayPal credentials or insert your Google Checkout Merchant number and key if you want to offer these checkout methods.
Log out of your shopping cart program's administration panel. Test your retail business website by making a test purchase and navigating your entire site from the customer's side.

Can I Load to Google's FTP Site?In Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
Though you can upload small files to Google Docs and Google Merchant Center accounts through the regular Google website interface, you need FTP to upload any files larger than 20MB, with a maximum file size of 1GB.
Browser FTP
To upload with FTP, you need an FTP program. There are two types: browser uploaders and standalone FTP programs. In Firefox, either install the Firefox Universal Uploader (Fireuploader) add-on, or go to 'Tools,' then 'Add-ons' and search for other FTP uploaders. You can search the add-ons or plugins marketplace of any browser for an FTP uploader that supports Google. Add-ons and plugins are free to install, and create an FTP interface in your browser's toolbar.
Standalone FTP
Another option is a standalone FTP program on your computer. The benefit here is that you can also use it to upload website files from your computer to any Web host. If you manage several websites, an FTP program lets you organize your accounts in one program. Cyberduck is a free FTP program that supports Google for Mac. Search Google for free or paid FTP programs, and look for one that supports Google Docs and Merchant Center.
Access
Whether you use a browser FTP plugin or a standalone FTP program, you simply log into your Google account to upload files. For example, in Fireuploader, click on the program icon and enter your username and password into the 'Add/Edit user' dialog box that opens. The process is the same with other programs. Most FTP programs allow you to store multiple accounts, so just click on the account name next time you want to FTP to your Google account. From there, drag and drop files from your computer to the FTP program to upload them to Google's site.

Why Do I Have so Many Iexplore.exe Running?In Feburary 2016 13,
In Feburary 2016 13,
Iexplore.exe is a process associated with Microsoft Internet Explorer, the Web browser created by Microsoft. If you open the Windows Task Manager, by pressing 'Ctrl,' 'Shift' and 'Escape,' you may notice several instances of iexplore.exe running. This is most likely because you have several Microsoft Internet Explorer windows open at the same time. Each time you open a Microsoft Internet Explorer window, a corresponding iexplore.exe process runs. When you close the window, the iexplore.exe process stops.
Virus?
Some viruses install an iexplore.exe file that may appear in the Windows Task Manager as an iexplore.exe process. Viruses install files with the same name as legitimate Windows files in an effort to remain undetected. To determine whether an instance of iexplore.exe belongs to a virus, open the Windows Task Manager and click the 'General' tab. Click 'Show Processes From All Users' and 'Image Name.' A list of all running processes appears in alphabetical order under the 'Image Name' heading. Right-click the first instance of 'iexplore.exe' and select 'Properties.' Click the 'General' tab. Next to 'Location,' it should say 'C:\Windows\System32.' If it does not, the instance of iexplore.exe likely belongs to a virus. Do this for all of the instances of iexplore.exe running.
Warnings
If there are multiple instances of iexplore.exe running and you do not have any Internet Explorer windows open, do not assume that the iexplore.exe processes belong to a virus. Some viruses launch the legitimate iexplore.exe process in an effort to connect to the Internet. Thus, you should still check to see whether the process belongs to a virus using the aforementioned method.
Removal
To stop an instance of 'iexplore.exe' that belongs to a virus, open the Windows Task Manager, right-click the 'iexplore.exe' belonging to the virus and select 'End Process.' While this ends the process, it does not remove the virus. Thus, you should run an up to date anti-virus program. Several free anti-virus programs are available online, including Microsoft Security Essentials, Avast! Free Antivirus 6 and AVG Antivirus Free Edition.

Can I Work on WordPress Offline?In Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Users may want to work with WordPress offline for several reasons. One use for offline WordPress is as a test environment. An offline, local installation of WordPress offers a safe, easily restored environment to test changes to the WordPress installation, such as code implementation or layout testing.
Local Server
WordPress can run on any computer that supports PHP scripting language and MySQL databases. Windows, Mac and Linux machines can all be configured to support this environment. Once enabled, users can install the WordPress web application and then access this installation from their local machine. Local server installations work exactly like online WordPress installations, except instead of typing an Internet URL to access the WordPress installation, users enter their local hostname or http://127.0.0.1 address to point to the installation.
Desktop Blogging Clients
Desktop blogging clients allow users to draft posts offline, though most other administrative functions must still be done via an online connection to the WordPress installation. WordPress-compatible desktop blogging clients include Windows Live Writer, BlogDesk and Qumana. Features vary between desktop clients, but most include post creation, categorization and tagging. More advanced desktop clients may allow a user to manage other aspects of her blog, such as creating local backups.
Maintenance Mode
Users who want to take their WordPress site offline but still work with the backend have the option of installing a plugin that will put the WordPress site in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode will close the site to incoming user connections but allow administrators and other authorized users access to the live site. Though not truly working offline, enabling maintenance mode is a viable alternative for users who only need to take WordPress offline temporarily.

How to Make a VPS Out of a Dedicated ServerIn Feburary 2016 10,
In Feburary 2016 10,
Check to determine if your physical server meets the hardware requirement of the hypervisor that you want to use. A hypervisor is the operating system that manages the virtual servers. Some hypervisors require specific hardware to install at all.
Save the data and/or configuration of the appliance currently running on the physical server.
Put the disc in the reader and install the hypervisor. Hypervisors install like any other operating system.
Virtual Server
Once installed, you will be able to boot in the hypervisor console. Refer to your manual to create a Virtual Machine (VM). Choose what CPU power, memory and storage amount the VM will have access to. The CPU power, RAM amount and storage amount can be changed after creation if your appliance's needs go up.
Install the operating system using an ISO (image of a disk stored on a hard drive), a disk or the network. The installation and configuration is identical to an installation on a physical server. Install and configure the appliance.
Repeat the process for all of the appliances you want to install in virtual servers on the physical server.
