Read more here. I have renewed my developer subscription with woothemes so I can include any of their themes in my development work. They are an incredibly good company and their themes are top notch. I now can offer a choice of over 100 themes with my hosting/development package. I'll set everything up and you just fill in the content.

I'm offering my web development service for free. I'll set a website up for you that you can manage yourself using WordPress and a nice template of your choice (I have a few dozen included commercial templates).

You pay for hosting @ $20/month (email included) through my service and your domain name through godaddy which is usually $10/year and I'll help you with the rest. This is a $300-$500 value. I've developed a good system for setting up sites inexpensively and I can offer email support after the initial site set up. I come highly recommended. This is a really good deal if you need a simple informational website but don't have a lot of money to get it started.

If you get the error "unable to find image manipulation component" when attempting to insert/link an image or file then make sure your UserFiles folder has read/write enabled.

This is a registry/bat extension that allows you to right-click a folder in Windows explorer (tested on XP) and it will delete all of the *-min.js and *-min.css files and then recreate them using YUI Compressor. After installing, right-click a folder and choose "Compress JS/CSS Files".

Don't use this on a folder that has a bunch of already -min(ified) js and css files and you don't also have the uncompressed files. This will first delete the -min file if it exists and then recreate it using the filename without the -min. I wrote this as a useful function for something I do over and over. I always use the uncompressed files for development but reference the -min files in production. This will recreate them for you easily.

To install just copy all of the files to C:\winnt\ and run yuicompressor.reg. If you want to put the files anywhere else then you'll have to change the paths in both the bat and reg files. My suggestion is just to create this folder if it doesn't exist and keep it simple.

If you want to upgrade the YUI Compressor binary just download it and remove the version number from the filename so that it's simply "yuicompressor.jar" and dump it in c:\winnt and you're ready to go.

Download yuicompressor.zip

Here's the code for the bat file:

cd "%1"
for /f %%a in ('dir /b *-min.js') do call:ProcessDel: %%a
for /f %%a in ('dir /b *-min.css') do call:ProcessDel: %%a
for /f %%a in ('dir /b *.js') do call:ProcessCompress: %%a
for /f %%a in ('dir /b *.css') do call:ProcessCompress: %%a
 
:ProcessDel
 
IF NOT [%1]==[] call:DeleteMinFiles: %1
 
GOTO:EOF
 
:ProcessCompress
 
IF NOT [%1]==[] call:CompressFiles: %1
 
GOTO:EOF
 
:DeleteMinFiles
 
IF EXIST "%CD%\%1" del "%CD%\%1"
 
GOTO:EOF
 
:CompressFiles
 
java -jar c:\winnt\yuicompressor.jar %1 -o %~n1-min%~x1
 
GOTO:EOF

This error happened after installing Acronis True Image 10 and indicates that your network shares have become inaccessible. Here's a thread discussing this and an MS KB article.

Here's the easy fix. It's a zipped reg file so just double click and restart either your computer or just the "Server" service (start > run "services.msc" to view).
