Email management tip – Use email filters to manage emails efficiently
It has always been an issue in a big mailing group as to what the topic of the email/discussion should be. This is partly because different people have different perspectives and different tolerance level to various things. Some people don't like to be annoyed with some computer sales or job opportunities email(s) in the group but still want to be in the mailing list to receive other important news and updates. At the same time, someone in that group can actually be benefited from that opportunity related email(s). In this article I have tried to explain how 'email filter' can be used to minimize all the endless discussions of what should not be the topic of the mail in the group. This will also help an individual save valuable time by not having to go through a high number of emails that he/she is not interested in everyday just to find the important emails.

What image compression settings to use when converting an image to jpg/jpeg

What image compression settings to use when converting an image to jpg/jpeg
I have been trying to find the perfect compression settings to use when converting my digital images to 'jpg' or 'jpeg' format that yields the best result in terms of the image quality and the image size. There are various softwares out there that can convert images e.g. Photoshop, ACDsee, ImageConverter etc. I always used to use the same 90% compression settings for converting from 'bmp' to 'Jpg' and for all my other digital image compressions without much thought. As my photo collection from my digital camera is getting bigger I wanted to efficiently archive my images without losing too much image quality. Also after taking a look at my monthly bandwidth usages for my website, I found that the images are consuming the highest bandwidth. So I needed to be more efficient on the image compression of the images that I use for my website to save bandwidth(How to save website’s bandwidth and storage usage)

WordPress Plugin for Simple Google Adsense Insertion/Integration
Easy to use Wordpress plugin to insert Google Adsense to your posts, pages and sidebar by using a trigger text or calling the php function. There are many plugins and services which can add Google Adsense to your WordPress site. However I found that even though something like Adsense Manager or Adsense Deluxe provides a lot of customizable options, it can be overwhelming and isn't really simple enough for people who are new to WordPress or for people who simply want to insert Google Adsense to their site in a few clicks. I found that most of the time I only use two or three types of Google Adsense units in various places and posts throughout my sites. Google's Adsense policy mentions to not have more than three adsense block in one page anyway. That's why I wrote my own Simple Adsense Insertion Plugin for WordPress, to focus on having 1-3 Google Adsense codes saved and use them where ever I want on my site by inserting a simple trigger text to my posts,pages and sidebar. Installation 1. Unzip and Upload the folder 'WP-Simple-Adsense-Insertion' to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 3. Go to Settings and configure the options ...
