Backup Sticky Notes

I am Roaming around to backup sticky notes on Windows 7 or Windows Vista. And finally I found a solution from the internet.

Here are the steps:

  1. Start
  2. Computer
  3. Navigate to C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes
    • Supply the <USER> with your computer user name
  4. And there is a StickyNotes.snt file you need to be backup-ed.

That’s it you have your sticky note backup-ed.

Tip on Website Structure

Greetings!

Just a few days ago I have encountered a Website Structure that made me really sad. Upon opening the folder I was shocked how was the file structure was handled. I think I can share how you should do the structuring of your files if your going to create a website with any programming language out of scratch.

  1. First group your files accordingly
    • You put all your javascript files inside a folder, let say js,  in which all javascript files are there and no where else. Inside it you can again group it accrdingly to what javascript its all about. If your using jquery put it under a js/jquery folder, if your using tinymce put it on js/tinymce, and so on.
    • The same thing goes to css and other files. Group them so you can easily find them
  2. Second, Use consistent file type
               If your going to use PNG use png in all cases. If your not using transparent images then use JPG.
  3. Lastly, Use naming conventions that you can easily remember

These aren’t all that you can do. But I can say that this can help in improving the readability of your website when you are giving over the development or getting help from another developer. Next time I will be giving some tips on coding on PHP.

Thanks,

WordPress Get the current post slug

Hi there, I have search the net and this person found a way to get the slug the easier way.

 

The common approach:

$post_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
$post_ID = $post_obj->ID;
$post_title = $post_obj->post_title;
$post_slug = $post_obj->post_name;

His approach:

$slug = basename(get_permalink());

That's it. Just include it inside the_loop.

If that’s what you want. Yahoo is give you one (1) extra email that you can change every year. Yahoo extra Email address put an extra email address on top of your current email.
