Many newcomers to WordPress take it for granted that the WordPress install will do the entire job for them right from providing a good quality CMS to backing up and storing the files for them in a reliable and fashionable manner. All this goes into a tizzy when a WordPress site owner or a person working for a WordPress client finds that the entire data, files, images are lost for any reason and there is nothing to fall back upon. Such a situation is very frightening for any website owner for all his efforts have gone down the drain and there is no way to get them back. This essentially puts the case for having a solid and reliable backup strategy. … [Read more...] about WordPress Website Backup 101 For Beginners

Much of the editing work is tedious– Sometimes publishing platforms like WordPress behave weirdly. You can have formatting issues with your text, since the writer drafted the article in MS Word. The hyperlinks might not be opening in new window, so you will have to fix all of them. Or the images might have not been given proper credits. … [Read more...] about Why & How To Create Blog Style Guide Like Top Media Houses

Right now I expect some sort of compensation for the head start that wasn’t.  We preordered with the expectation of being able to get in and play and that simply has not been the case for a hell of a lot of players.  This is just not an acceptable practice and I expect that the preorders should receive some sort of compensation for the lost head start time.  Essentially if you cannot log in during non-peak times… you cannot play period.  Ultimately my choice is either to join the problem and never log out… or to give up on being able to play at all.  Last night I finally gave up because at that point I had wasted two and a half hours clicking the 0 key over and over trying to log in. … [Read more...] about Login Lottery

Every profession is supposed to be self-sufficient but group play will still be very important to succeed in fights (as a single player won’t be able to fight against huge dragons alone). For example, the game features combos. One character may use a skill that is a combo field (an initiator). Another character can the use a skill that is a combo finisher for that combo field. The finisher skill will then get an additional effect added. I’ll give you one example: A thief may use Shadow Refuge which, apart from healing allies and cloaking them in stealth, starts the combo field “Dark”. A warrior may then use “Fear Me!” which is a combo finisher “Blast” (it usually fears nearby foes). The Blast Finisher added to the Dark combo field results in the Blast Finisher skill also inducing blindness in all targeted foes. So, they will not just be feared but also blinded. If the warrior uses Kill Shot instead, they will damage one foe (the usual … [Read more...] about Guild Wars 2: A FAQ for new players
