How to delete archived posts on your computer

Tweet

This is a guide on how to delete posts created using Windows Live Writer.

I have been using Windows Live Writer (aka WLW) for, more or less, a year already. I use it especially with my Blogger hosted blogs. There are days when blogger is very slow, sometimes it even hangs up. So to save myself from pulling my hair out of frustration, when that unfortunate thing happens, I use Windows Live Writer when I update my blogs.

Upon publishing a post, WLW saves a copy of the post in the computer. And it automatically gets saved on the blog as well. I don’t need two copies so I usually delete, after a few months, the saved posts in my computer.

Can’t find it?

1. Go to the My Documents folder

2. Click My Weblog Posts

3. You’ll see two folders : Drafts and Recent Posts

4. From there you can choose the posts, published or drafts, that you want to delete.

mobile operator or cellphone unit problem?

Tweet

There are days when my mobile phone has no signal. I just bought it a year ago, and I’ve pondered so much whether I should or shouldn’t buy it, so I don’t think I’m ready to accept that there’s a problem with the cellular phone itself. I don’t want to say goodbye to this phone yet.

The culprit, I’m positively very sure, is the signal strength in our condominium building. I’ve no idea if the weak signal is due to the mobile operator’s tower location or the concrete wall of our building, but this I’m very sure and this is what I’m ready to accept for now –my cellular phone problem is because of poor mobile signal.

the coolest gadget ever

Tweet

I want to buy something if it has a purpose and not just so I can have the latest. This is on top of my I WANT! list at the moment - a Samsung Galaxy Tab.

geekalerts

What do I like about it? It is compact and light, a 13.58-ounce, 7-inch tablet that slips easily into a pocket or bag. I have scoliosis and my back becomes painful when carrying heavy things.  It is equipped with 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi  or Bluetooth. Internet-on-the-go means blogging-on-the-go!

I'm a bookworm, I have a bookshelf in the house overflowing with books. So this is one of the things I also like about this gadget. With just a touch of the screen you can read your favorite books, magazine and newspapers with the pre-loaded Amazon Kindle e-Reader. ThinkFree Office, an application that's compatible with Microsoft Office applications, can be used to view and edit, as well as create new, documents. I can edit some of the articles that I write without going online. Usable for my blogging needs even without an internet connection.

The Tab makes creating and sharing images and video fast and portable with its two cameras. And yes, the unlimited games that can be downloaded!

I have to dream about it for now. Save, save, save. In a few months, hopefully not years, I'll have one to carry anywhere I go.

Because of technology, more kids wear prescription eyeglasses these days. The culprits are television, handheld games, video games, cellular phones and computers. When I was in grade school, more than 20 years ago, there are only a handful of good shows for kids. And it's not even appealing to watch those shows because our television set was black and white.

We do play video games once in a while. But compared with thousands of exciting games now, the games available then were only a few. Computers and cellular phones were not necessities during those times also. Because of that, I still have 20/20 vision.

Although technology has bad effects to us, we shouldn't ignore the fact that it also has good effects. What we can do is use technology wisely. Use it to our advantage and not to our destruction.

birthday present

Tweet

My birthday is just around the corner, Saturday of next week. I already made my birthday wishlist a few weeks back. But last night, I changed the top slot on my birthday wish. I was ready-for-battle when I turned on my laptop yesterday. I had a mission that I vowed to accomplish - search for an interesting topic to write on my blog. I was wasting my time, for almost an hour, hopping from one site to another. Until I reached a website that made my day.

I have been wanting to replace our 10-year old television set. And when I saw Samsung 3D HDTV, that want turned into I-want-it-right-this-minute! So yes, this is officially my #1 wish for my birthday this year.

What is Scanography?

Scanography, also spelled scannography more commonly referred to as scanner photography, is the process of capturing digitized images of objects for the purpose of creating printable art using a flatbed "photo" scanner with a CCD array capturing device. The term scanography formerly referred to medical scanning, but is unrelated in either purpose or technique. Fine art scanography differs from traditional document scanning by using atypical objects, often three dimensional, as well as from photography, due to the nature of the scanner's operation. source: Wikipedia

i want my ex back!

Tweet

I had lots of problems with this ex. For so many months, before saying adieu, I had to put up with waiting all the time. Such a waste of my precious time. I just couldn't take it anymore, I decided to get a new one.

I am not talking about an ex-boyfriend or ex-husband but my ex-laptop! I have to wait for 30 minutes (I am not kidding!) for it to boot. After much contemplating, I decided to buy a netbook. It's so much easier to bring anywhere and it doesn't take too much space inside my bag.

But I have lots of pictures and important files stored in that ex laptop. Since that laptop is considered a senior citizen laptop already, I therefore can't use the laptop warranty. I have to start looking for someone to fix it. Someone who doesn't pretend really knows how to fix a laptop and that someone shouldn't charge too much! Can anyone recommend a reliable technician?

my destiny internet

Tweet

Finally! An internet connection. Hopefully, switching from DSL to cable internet will not give me any frustrations. Had a PLDT internet connection for a few years. But when we transferred to a new condominium, all PLDT internet slots were being used. I had no choice but to look for another internet provider. Had to pay PHP 2500. That's already inclusive of PHP500 installation fee; PHP999 advance payment and PHP 1000 deposit applicable on the last two months of availing the internet service. Will see in a few weeks if I made the right choice of choosing this internet provider.

do you know how to joomla?

I don't ...

... yet. If you know how, can you teach me?

Have been planning to study it. Will start today. Hmm, after I am done attending a party.

yes, i want an iPad!

Tweet

I definitely want one! Some merchants though are taking advantage of the ongoing iPad craze right now. I did some research and was able to find online coupons, yay! Double yay for me because I was able to find coupons for iPad accessories also! I also have to buy earphones.

Why do I need an iPad anyway? Because I can do a lot of things with this new device. I love reading books, watching movies and listening to music. I can do all these things with just one device - the iPad.

do you love shopping online?

Tweet

I will be launching an online shopping website in a few weeks, I hope. The problem is, I haven't started comparing the web hosting sites that I found online. Some we're recommended by other blogger friends. Some web hosting providers, on my list of prospects, I found while searching online.

A free webhost is a no-no to an ecommerce website. There are a lot of "online thieves" lurking, not safe for an ecommerce business that has a shopping cart and online payment system. And customers won't trust an online shopping site that is using a free hosting service.

What I need is a hosting provider that has a dedicated server. A dedicated server is the solution to make an ecommerce website secure. Yes, it is more expensive but dedicated servers provide numerous benefits to an online business.

I have seen a lot of hosting providers that has unlimited-everything. unlimited webspace, unlimited transfer, unlimited domain hosting, unlimited email accounts, unlimited MySQL databases, unlimited etceteras. Could that be true? Need to find out if those webhosts are for real!

It would be an advantage if the hosting provider also provide a free website builder. Because I don't know how to create or set-up a website. I need a webhost that is reliable and will help me in everything that I will need to make my ecommerce business successful.

Would need more recommendations. Just leave a comment if you can recommend one.

a fun way to lose weight

Tweet

I was supposed to be dieting and exercising to lose the extra pounds I gained last Christmas holidays. Three months of more eating and not exercising has added more extra pounds to lose. Maybe I should just buy an exercise machine that I can use in the house everyday. A home gym would be cool but its quite expensive.

I should just buy a Wii. I can just borrow my niece if I don't find a cheap one online. My son would be so happy once he finds out I'm planning to buy one. Better start searching online now.

who's fault is it? facebook!

Gone are the days when my dad and mom doesn't even want to look at the computer. Now, my parent's who are now in their 60's, has become computer literate. They now know how to use a computer mouse, yay!

My dad is even willing to learn how to blog. I will introduce him to blogging and google adsense. I am sure he will earn more than me. He spends more time online than I do.

earn more with the right keywords

When did you start blogging? By now, you must be generating more traffic to your site compared when you first started. No? I was in the same situation until I discovered SERP Analytics.

What is SERPAnalytics? SERP is an acronym of Search Engine Results Page. SERPAnalytics is the first online SEO environment designed for SEO and SEM specialists. The service shows SEO parameters under search results, positions changes, archived serps and SERP summary in a special window.

The service is also advantageous to people who manage their personal or business website. The SEO Tools page has five subpages: Google Data Center Tool, Top 100,000 Keywords Tool, Google Country Tool, Yahoo Country Tool and Bing Country Tool.

 The Google Data Center Tool page displays google search results on different datacenters in different frames, side by side, so you can compare them. The Top 100,000 Keywords Tool page can be used to investigate top Adsense keywords, top paid keywords, top niches. displays Google search results in different countries in different frames, side by side, so you can compare them. The three remaining pages displays Google, Yahoo and Bing search results in different countries in different frames so you can compare them.

At the moment, SERPAnalytics is still in its beta version. I registered for free and clicked my way to the Free Top 100000 keyword tool page. This tool gathers information about the most popular keywords, top Adsense keywords, top paid keywords, top niches. It contains approximately 10,000 top keywords. I discovered that I can generate more traffic to my personal site and earn more as well with the right keywords.

Another tool that I find very useful is the reverse ip search tool. You can enter any ip and find all sites on this ips which were found in SERPs. You can view the domain summary of a particular ip and be able to view the top earning keywords that they use on their site.

But you can't access that if you're not a member yet. Why not register for FREE at SERP Analytics now.

very heavy mini laptop?

Tweet

If you're one of my blog's regular reader (as if I have one!), you would remember my post about my break-back-DELL-laptop. It was such a heavy laptop, I cannot bring it anywhere.

Oh! You don't know about that post? I was hoping you are one of my blog-fan. Nope?

That post is also about my new HP Mini laptop. I wanted to buy a DELL mini but I can't find one right away. I ended up buying HP Mini instead. A small laptop is what I wanted because I can bring it anywhere I go without breaking my back.

I have scoliosis - is a crooked back considered as broken? I guess yes. I don't want to break it more.

I did notice that the battery is attached at the back, not inside the laptop. The battery is not that big, so I thought there was no problem about it. Now that I've tried bringing it outside the house (the laptop - with the battery of course) I am regretting it already (buying an HP mini). Why? The battery and laptop becomes sooo heavy when carried around even for just a short period of time.

Lesson learned: Next time, I will be more patient. I could have just waited for a DELL mini but I was so impatient I bought this laptop with a battery as heavy as a mountain. I am not exaggerating, nope. I always have backpains everytime I carry the laptop out of the house.
