How to prevent firefox from crashing again
Posted by: jobinmartin on: December 11, 2009
I have been using Firefox from the time I began using internet. I love the way firefox works ,through addons and extensions. Though firefox can be a great utility for browsers and download freaks alike,it has some problems too,which can be fixed.
Firefox’s Problems
* The main problem I have encountered with firefox is that when we add bookmarks day after day, firefox slows down and when bookmarks become unbearable to firefox it hangs and crashes.
* I am an addon lover, every time I fins a new useful addon I add it to my firefox. Again the problem occur, firefox hangs and crashes. When the firefox is restarted, all the tabs and windows which were open at the time firefox crashed, tries to open again resulting in a further crash. Crash by crash becomes an avalanche, pulling all your valuable bookmarks and addons along with it. The only option which remains is uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it again.
Reasons for Firefox crash
* Incompatible or Buggy Extensions
* Buggy Plugins
* Upgrading an Old 2.x Profile to 3.0
* Compatibility Problems with XP
* Video Card Drivers
* Tablet PC Incompatibility
How can we fix these problems?
1.Run in Safe Mode
If Firefox no longer crashes while running in Safe Mode, then you know you have an issue with one of the following:
* Plugins
* Extensions
* Settings
* Profile
2.Create a New Profile (if Safe Mode Fixes Your Issue)
3.Disable Unnecessary Plugins
4.Disable Unnecessary Extensions
5.Clear Out the Caches
6.XP Users: Run Firefox in Compatibility Mode
7.Do NOT Use the Tablet PC Input Panel (or OnScreen Keyboard)
If none of these works, Backup bookmarks and saved passwords with MozBackup utility and completely uninstall firefox.Reinstall firefox.

How to Increase webtraffic to your blog
Posted by: jobinmartin on: December 11, 2009
Increase webtraffic tips
1. Post regularly
Posting regularly to the blog is the most important tip anyone can give. Posting frequency is the one and the most important factor in bringing you repeat visitors.I used to post regularly in my college days, but when I got entangled in the studies, my readership began to dwindle. But now I have started posting again, and my readership is steadily increasing.
2.Content is King as always
Know what your reader is looking for. My users are mostly looking for proxy and bypassing censorship tips and some technical hacks which help to reduce the workload. I post what I find out from other websites and blogs. Since these tips have helped me a lot, I am sure they will help a lot of my friends too. So I am always happy to provide great information I have procured from the sites I surf.
3.Comment on other related blogs
Commenting on other blogs is a great way to increase readers. I used to comment in a mechanical way just to increase my readership. Some of these sites I visited regularly, some others just for the sake of commenting. Whichever way, commenting is always good for you. Be a good friend and traffic will flow to you.
4.Post in social networking sites
Four social networking sites have worked best for me,they are Orkut, Stumble upon, Facebook and Twitter. Though I have tried Digg, since people in my part of the world are not regular diggers, I lost intrest in digging.Orkut has helped me greatly in establishing a successful web career.Try these and you will be happy having done so.
5.Create mailing list and keep contact with readers
Though I have not tried this , I a sure creating a mailing list would be a great idea. Because when people forget us, a great way to make them remember our blog is through a mail in their inbox. Be sure not to spam them.
Though I have a lot more tips to discuss, I am tired typing in. Check back again to find new tips and leave a comment below if you loved reading this post.

Picnik Photo editor,does photo editing well

Since I was not an active publisher in puzzlehacker for such a long time,much of my repeat visitors where gone. But still I get so much search traffic. I discovered a lot of sites while I was in this hibernation period. I lost so much data and visitors. I desperately needed some screen capture softwares to do my work at ease.
I had a great screen capture software some months back, which I lost as I did some formatting. So I decided to google and find out. What I got was Picnik photo editor. Since opportunities lie everywhere, I decided to give Picnik a try.
Picnik is an online photo editor.It uses flash, so it took a lot of time to load. But once the site was loaded, everything was working great.I could do what ever I liked, with a simple click. Picnik is a great tool for any web publisher, who works on free tools and likes to do a neat job.
With picnik you can edit photos in flikr,facebook,picasa,myspace,photobucket etc.Saving the edited photos and sharing them will complete your work
